紅藜麥、白藜麥和黑藜麥的區別

What is red quinoa and what does it taste like?

Red quinoa is the most attractive of all three options from quinoa. It is red in color and turns deep red when cooked and mixed well with various vegan ingredients. Uncooked red quinoa comes in oval and flat shapes. When you cook the same, it turns into a fluffy texture that will surely catch your attention at first sight.

In terms of taste, red quinoa is a bit chewy compared to the other two varieties. It provides less crunch but is still delicious for all the vegans out there.

What is white quinoa and what does it taste like?

White quinoa is easy to see due to its light texture and less fluffy appearance. This type of quinoa requires less water to cook and even less time to be completely ready. White quinoa is perfect added to salads, vegan desserts, plant-based burger patties, and more. You can even find crunchy quinoa puffs made with this fake grain.

White quinoa tastes crunchy and nutty. It provides a fluffy texture and very little chewing experience while having the same effect.

What is black quinoa and what does it taste like?

The darkest variety of quinoa is black quinoa , which is more nutritious and healthier than the other two types of quinoa. It is the healthiest option among quinoa, containing more protein, dietary fiber and less fat content. Since black quinoa has a nuttier and fluffier texture, it takes time to cook.

Black quinoa has a crispier flavor. It's the only quinoa variety with a naturally sweet taste that can be added to several meals for a delicious taste.
