Here's the seed that just keeps on growing. A quick look at supermarket shelves and fridges shows the extent to which quinoa is on an upward trajectory.
We can help you take advantage of that growth...
Nutritional Benefits of Quinoa
Packed with protein – 100g of quinoa contains 13g of protein. It is one of the few foods to contain all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete source of protein.
High in nutrients such as vitamins E and B. One portion of quinoa contains nearly 60% of the recommended intake of manganese, 19% of folate and 30% of magnesium.
Full of fibre – Most people don't eat enough fibre. In Britain for example, average intake is 18g a day, rather than the recommended 30g. That’s 40% too little!
Use the following ingredients to add nutritious and visible value to your products:
In a Mix...
Our quinoa mixes include a vibrant blend of white and red seeds, which look spectacular in everything from salads and ready meals to wraps and rolls.
Our mixes, blends, and concentrates include: Ancient Grains Concentrate (spelt; millet; barley; quinoa; sugar; gluten; malted wheat) Sandwich Seed Blend (millet; sunflower; linseed; malted wheat; quinoa); and a Grain & Seed Concentrate (malted wheat flakes; linseed; sunflower; oats; millet; poppy; Quinoa; rye)
Around 10 -15% on flour weight is recommended as an inclusion for each. They can also be used as a topping.
As a Flour...
Quinoa flour can be easily adapted to a broad range of baking recipes. It looks and feels like an all purpose wheat flour, is great for gluten free baking and has a subtly nutty flavour which means it works well in both sweet and savoury products. We can also mill the flour at less than 5 parts per million. Around 10 -15% on flour weight is recommended as an inclusion for each. They can also be used as a topping.
And now... stunning Sprouted Quinoa!
Having introduced the sprouted grain category to the sector, starting with rye, wheat, spelt and naked barley, we have developed a fantastic new range of WholeSoft Sprouted ingredients - including red quinoa. WholeSoft Sprouted Quinoa is available on its own or as part of a 50/50 blend with sprouted spelt. In whatever application you use it, sprouted quinoa will look stunning, taste fabulous, and add hugely to the nutritional value of your product. Around 10 -15% on flour weight is recommended as an inclusion for each. They can also be used as a topping.
