Symbol Nutrition Puffed Quinoa is derived from quinoa seeds that are native to the Andes Mountains of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. Though quinoa means “mother grain” in the Inca language, it is actually more closely related to spinach and beets than to standard grains, this seed is significantly more nutritious than true grains. Quinoa is naturally coated with a substance known as saponin, which can give the seeds a biting, waxy taste. Our quinoa is rinsed to remove this coating.
Organic quinoa puffs give you all the benefits of quinoa in a crispy snack. Just add milk and enjoy; no cooking needed. Puffed quinoa also makes a crunchy addition to yogurt, oatmeal and granola bars.
Did you Know?
Protein Powerhouse: A single serving of puffed quinoa (approx. 1.8 ounces) provides seven grams of protein. It is one of few plant foods that provides a complete protein source with all nine essential amino acids.
High in Fiber: Quinoa puffs are also a good source of fiber, providing three grams per serving. The fiber found in quinoa is beneficial for digestive health. Quinoa puffs contain nearly twice as much fiber as nearly all other grains.
Rich in Iron: The mineral iron is necessary for the transport of oxygen-rich red blood cells throughout the body, and quinoa puffs are a great source of it. A single serving provides over 25 percent of the daily value (DV) for iron.
