Description
Quinoa is a highly nutritious food and contains more protein than any other grain. It is considered a complete protein because it contains all eight essential amino acids. Quinoa is also higher in unsaturated fats and lower in carbohydrates than most grains and provides a rich, balanced source of vital nutrients.
Quinoa is a healthy alternative to protein-rich foods such as beef or cheese. Quinoa is gluten-free; easy to digest and contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans (protein content 12%–18%), making it a good choice for vegetarians and vegans.
Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and a mild, slightly nutty flavour. A common cooking method for quinoa is to bring two cups of water to a boil with one cup of the grain, cover and simmer on low heat for 14–18 minutes or until the germ separates from the seed. The cooked germ looks like a tiny curl and should have a slight bite to it (like al dente pasta).

Shipping & Delivery
Fresh Earth Food Store offers free delivery to major centers in most parts of the country on orders of R475 or more.
Certain postal codes are however classified as "outside major centers" so they do not qualify for free shipping.
Hints for qualifying for free shipping if your home address is outside of these areas:
Try use your office or work address as the delivery address - this is likely to fall in a major center.
Try the address of a friend nearby who falls under a different postal code.
If you live on a remote farm or outlying rural area, make arrangements to have your shipment delivered to a shop or community center in a nearby town that counts as a major center.
