Quinoa Flour

Quinoa Flour

EverydayDry

Quinoa flour is a gluten-free baking alternative made by finely milling whole quinoa grains, retaining the complete protein profile and nutrients of the ancient seed. This pale yellow flour contains all nine essential amino acids and delivers higher fiber and mineral content than traditional wheat flour, though its dense texture often requires blending with lighter flours for optimal baking results. The distinctively nutty, earthy flavor of quinoa remains present, making it particularly popular in gluten-free breads, pancakes, and nutrient-dense snack bars.
