Black Quinoa

Black Quinoa

EverydayDry

Black quinoa is an heirloom variety of quinoa distinguished by its deep ebony hue and slightly earthier flavor compared to white or red quinoa. Like all quinoa types, it is gluten-free, rich in complete plant-based protein, and originates from Andean cultivation traditions. Its dark pigmentation signals higher antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, while maintaining the grain’s signature nutty taste and fluffy-yet-chewy texture when cooked.
