Wondering which quinoa to choose?

Did you know that quinoa is a superfood packed with special chemicals that are good for your body? One study found that there are more than 23 different types of these chemicals, called phenols and flavonoids, in red, white, and black quinoa. But guess what? The red and black quinoa have even more of these helpful chemicals than the white quinoa. The reason for this is because they have a deeper color, thanks to a special plant pigment called betacyanin. Betacyanin is a super powerful antioxidant that gives red and purple plants their beautiful colors.

All that to say, if you enjoy the taste of white quinoa more, go for it because the more enjoyable your food is, the more benefit you receive from the nutrients in it. A pleasureful experienced is better than a negative one.
