Black quinoa is a variety of quinoa that has a dark black or deep purple color. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is native to the Andean region of South America and has gained popularity worldwide due to its numerous health benefits and versatility in cooking.

Like other types of quinoa, black quinoa is gluten-free and a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture, making it a popular choice in various dishes, such as salads, stir-fries, and pilafs.

Cooking methods for black quinoa are similar to those used for other quinoa varieties. It requires rinsing before cooking to remove a naturally bitter coating called saponin. After rinsing, it can be cooked by boiling in water or broth until the seeds are tender.
