White Quinoa – The classic. Discover it
White quinoa from FoodSeries is a natural food product available in convenient pouch formats for your kitchen.
Quinoa is a widely used pseudocereal all over the world due to its nutritional and organoleptic properties. It comes in different varieties depending on the crop, which vary in nutritional composition, texture, and flavour.
Quinoa is rich in carbohydrates, provides a good amount of protein, and is popular among athletes for this reason.
The ideal quinoa variety for your recipes
What is quinoa and why is it used like a cereal?
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a seed native to the Andes, considered a pseudocereal due to its use and nutritional profile similar to traditional cereals like rice and wheat. Unlike conventional cereals, quinoa does not belong to the grass family, but is consumed in a similar way, usually cooked. It stands out for its high protein content compared to traditional cereals, including all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source even though it's plant-based, which makes it ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. It is also high in fibre and other important nutrients. Its content of gluten-free carbohydrates, mostly complex, makes it a low glycaemic index source, perfect for consumption at any time of the day.
It is used as a source of carbohydrates because it is highly versatile and nutritious, offering a healthy alternative to traditional grains. Its fluffy texture and mild flavour make it ideal for all kinds of dishes: from salads and soups to desserts for the more adventurous. In sports and healthy eating, quinoa is valued for its ability to provide sustained energy thanks to its high content of complex carbohydrates and good caloric intake, making it an excellent food for athletes and those with an active lifestyle. Its growing global popularity is due to its nutritional versatility and how easily it fits into various diets.
White quinoa is the most versatile type of quinoa
White quinoa is the most versatile type due to its mild flavour and light texture, making it an excellent base for a wide variety of recipes. Unlike red or black quinoa, which have a stronger flavour and firmer texture, white quinoa cooks faster and develops a fluffy consistency, similar to rice. This makes it ideal for all kinds of recipes. Its mild flavour also allows for easy pairing with all sorts of ingredients,

Gluten-free – A cereal suitable for coeliacs
Quinoa is a naturally gluten-free pseudocereal, making it an excellent alternative for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. Thanks to its strong nutritional profile, it is ideal as a carbohydrate source in a rich and varied diet.
Thanks to HSN quality guarantees, we not only ensure the natural absence of gluten, but also complete safety from environmental exposure, being totally free of allergens from cross-contamination. The white variety is also ideal for preparing gluten-free recipes like bread, sponge cakes, and more, making it an even more versatile choice.
Flavour of white quinoa – Where does it fit in?
Thanks to its neutral flavour profile, you can pair it with both sweet and savoury ingredients without overpowering other flavours, making it very versatile in your kitchen.
Recipe ideas include fresh salads with rocket and tangy dressings, porridge-style breakfast bowls with nut butter and soy protein, vegetarian burgers with yellow lentil flour, as a carbohydrate source in soups made with our chicken protein broth, or even in desserts like cookies made with ghee and Evowhey protein. It is also ideal as a side for main dishes, as quinoa is originally, and most commonly, used as a basic garnish.
White quinoa nutrition section
Quinoa is:
- A source of protein: In addition, despite being a plant-based protein, it contains all the essential amino acids, which is why it’s considered a complete protein. Protein helps to gain and maintain muscle mass.
- High in fibre: An important nutrient that, nowadays, with the rise of ultra-processed foods, is increasingly lacking in the diet.
- Rich in carbohydrates: Complex, with a naturally low sugar content, making it an ideal choice for both athletes and those seeking a balanced diet.
Consistency – What can we expect?
As previously mentioned, white quinoa is the softest of all varieties. Once cooked, it gives a perfect result for all kinds of preparations – soft, fluffy, and very malleable, ideal for use as a side dish; but if you knead and compress it, it will form a starchy paste perfect for continuing your culinary adventure and preparing other dishes, such as breads, tortillas, and other doughs.
Do I need to wash quinoa? Why?
Yes.
Quinoa should be washed because, as a pseudocereal, it is rich in saponins, which give it a characteristically bitter flavour. Washing it before cooking removes them and improves its taste.

It's normal quinoa
Daniel 07/08/2025
I like to buy this one because HSN makes packages where the quantity-price ratio is worth it. For the rest, it's the same as the others, the only one with a distinctive flavor is Real Quinoa, which is not sold at HSN at the moment.
