Red Quinoa Seed

Red Quinoa Seed is a vibrant, nutrient-rich whole grain known for its robust texture, earthy flavor, and striking appearance. Unlike white quinoa, which is mild and fluffy, red quinoa has a firmer bite and holds its shape exceptionally well after cooking. These traits make it a favorite in gourmet salads, grain bowls, pilafs, and side dishes where color, nutrition, and texture are important.

Slightly richer in antioxidants than white varieties, Red Quinoa is packed with polyphenols and flavonoids, offering potential anti-inflammatory and heart-supportive benefits. It’s also a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids, and is high in fiber, iron, and magnesium. Because of its firmer nature, Red Quinoa takes slightly longer to cook but rewards you with a nutty, hearty bite and a beautiful deep hue that enhances plate presentation.

This variety is especially popular with foodservice providers, plant-based chefs, and functional food product developers. It is used in ready-to-eat meals, pre-cooked quinoa packs, and protein bowls. Our Red Quinoa Seeds are naturally grown using sustainable practices and harvested during peak maturity for optimal nutritional content. The seeds are triple-cleaned, de-saponified, and minimally processed to preserve their integrity, color, and shelf life.
