Quinoa flour is a flour produced from quinoa, a grain-like seed native to the Andes of South America. Quinoa is a somewhat unique grain, in that it has a very high protein content which made it a critical part of the Andean diet for centuries.
While quinoa is usually considered to be a whole grain, it is actually a seed, but can be prepared like whole grains such as rice or barley. Try a quinoa salad recipe, or serve a vegetable stir-fry over cooked quinoa instead of rice.Quinoa is my favorite whole grain for three reasons: 1  First, it takes less time to cook than other whole grains-just 10 to 15 minutes. 2  Second, quinoa tastes great on its own, unlike other grains such as millet or teff. Finally, of all the whole grains, quinoa has the highest protein content, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans. 2  Quinoa provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. 3  Quinoa is a gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole grain, is kosher for Passover, and is almost always organic.
