Pereg Baby Quinoa

Pereg Natural Foods (pereg-gourmet.com), debuts a new line of Kaňiwa (babyquinoa), an excellent source of complete protein and amino acids, exceptionally high in iron and is gluten-free, and offers a nutrient rich food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
Baby Quinoa – 5 ounce boxes & resealable 16 oz. bags
Dark reddish-brown in color and about half the size of a tiny quinoa seed, kañiwa cooks up quickly to resemble a smaller version of red quinoa.  Unlike regular quinoa, kañiwa doesn’t have saponins, the coating that gives quinoa a somewhat soapy, slightly bitter flavor if not rinsed properly.  Kañiwa is actually easier to process due to the absence of saponins. (Note that all quinoa from Pereg is pre-rinsed and ready to cook from the package.)  Another advantage kañiwa has over quinoa is that it’s an even better source of iron. Retail:  5 oz. boxes ($3.57);  Re-sealable 16 oz. bags ($5.50).
