Tri-Color Quinoa

Tri-Color Quinoa

EverydayDry

Tri-color quinoa is a nutrient-dense blend of white, red, and black quinoa varieties, offering a visually striking alternative to single-color quinoa. Like all quinoa, it is gluten-free and provides all nine essential amino acids as a complete plant-based protein, with darker grains contributing additional antioxidants like anthocyanins. When cooked, the mix retains a slightly firmer texture than white quinoa alone, making it ideal for grain bowls, salads, and dishes where both nutrition and presentation matter.
