• Great for batch cooking: useful for salads, sides, and make-ahead lunches.

Simple ways to use organic quinoa

This organic quinoa can be used in both hot and cold dishes, making it a flexible ingredient to keep in the kitchen. Try it as a base for grain bowls, as a side dish with roasted vegetables, or as a filling addition to soups and salads.

Easy meal ideas

• Warm bowls with roasted vegetables, greens, and a punchy dressing.
• Chilled salads with beans, herbs, cucumber, and citrus.
• Stuffed peppers, squash, or courgettes for a nourishing dinner.
• Breakfast bowls with fruit, seeds, yoghurt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Cooking guide for light, fluffy quinoa

Rinse the grains before cooking to help remove any natural bitterness. Use one part quinoa to two parts water, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender. When the grains are ready, the small germ ring will appear. Leave the pan to stand for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork for the best texture.

Helpful cooking tips

• Toast the grains briefly before adding water for a nuttier flavour.
• Use stock instead of plain water if you want a richer savoury result.
• Cool cooked quinoa fully before mixing it into salads or lunch boxes.

We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.

For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.

If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
