What is the difference between black quinoa and white quinoa?

Black quinoa has a slightly stronger earthy flavour and firmer texture compared to white quinoa, which is softer and milder.

Do you need to soak black quinoa before cooking?

No, soaking is not essential. Simply rinse under cold water before cooking to remove any bitterness from the natural coating called saponin.

How long does black quinoa take to cook?

On average it takes around 15 to 20 minutes to cook, depending on your preferred texture. It should be tender but still hold a slight bite.
