What Is NOW Real Food Organic Tri-Color Quinoa?

NOW Real Food Organic Tri-Color Quinoa is a vibrant blend of White, Red & Black Quinoa — three varieties of this celebrated ancient grain combined for a more complex flavor, satisfying texture, and stunning visual appeal on your plate. USDA Organic and naturally gluten-free, this complete protein grain is a nutritional staple for modern, health-conscious kitchens.

Why Tri-Color Quinoa?

Each color of quinoa brings its own character to the blend:

  • White Quinoa — Lightest texture, mildest flavor; fluffy when cooked
  • Red Quinoa — Slightly crunchier, earthier flavor; holds shape well in salads
  • Black Quinoa — Sweetest, crunchiest variety with a striking appearance

Together, they deliver:

  • Complete protein — All 9 essential amino acids including lysine
  • Good source of fiber — Supports digestive health and satiety
  • Gluten-free goodness — Safe for celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals
  • Rich in minerals — Magnesium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus
  • Antioxidant-rich — Flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol with anti-inflammatory properties

  • Basic cooking: Rinse well, combine 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water, bring to boil, simmer 15 minutes, rest 5 minutes, fluff with fork
  • Grain bowls: Use as a protein-rich base under roasted vegetables, avocado, and dressings
  • Salads: Toss cooled quinoa with greens, cucumbers, and lemon vinaigrette

Allergen Information: Gluten-Free. Packaged in a facility that may also process tree nuts, peanuts, soy, wheat, and dairy.

Directions

To cook: Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold running water using a fine-mesh strainer. Combine with 2 cups of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Cooked quinoa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Warnings

Although quinoa is naturally gluten-free, this product is packaged in a facility that may also process wheat and other allergens. Individuals with severe celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should exercise caution. Always rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove natural saponins, which can cause a bitter taste. Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container after opening. Refrigeration extends shelf life.
