Grains & Pasta ingredient guide
Quinoa Recipes
Quinoa is a protein-rich, gluten-free seed commonly used like a grain in everyday cooking. Its mild, nutty flavor and fluffy texture make it a reliable base for salads, grain bowls, veggie burgers, soups, and simple side dishes.
Available in white, red, black, and tri-color varieties, quinoa cooks quickly and absorbs dressings, broths, herbs, and spices well. White quinoa is the softest and mildest, while red and black quinoa hold their shape better for meal prep and hearty salads.
Use quinoa anywhere you want a light but satisfying alternative to rice, couscous, or bulgur. It works well warm with roasted vegetables and sauces, or chilled with citrus, herbs, beans, and crunchy fresh produce.
