Puffed Quinoa Loose Organic

How is the quinoa puffed?

The grains go under heat and pressure: the heat makes the seed swell until it bursts out of its husk. The Kazidomi Vrac puffed quinoa takes no sugar, no fat and no flavouring on the way through. It is organic quinoa and nothing else, changed only by the pressure.

How do I use it?

It goes in raw, with no cooking: over porridge, yoghurt or a compote, into a homemade granola, a muesli or a cereal bar. Kazidomi Vrac puffed quinoa also works as a crunchy coating on a chocolate dessert, or as a light binder in energy balls.

Puffed quinoa or quinoa grains: what is the difference?

The puffed version is already swollen, crisp and ready to eat, sold in a 150 g bag. Kazidomi Vrac quinoa grains have to be rinsed and then simmered for fifteen minutes before they reach the plate. One belongs to sweet morning dishes, the other to savoury ones.

Does it lose its crunch?

Yes, as soon as it gets wet: add it at the last moment onto yoghurt or a bowl of plant milk rather than in advance. Kazidomi Vrac advises closing the bag carefully, since puffed quinoa takes up moisture from the air and softens quickly once it has been opened.

Does it contain added sugar?

No: the ingredient list stops at quinoa from organic farming. No syrup, no coating, no flavouring. The 150 g Kazidomi Vrac bag therefore holds a plain ingredient, to be sweetened yourself if you want it, with fruit, a compote or a spoonful of maple syrup.
