Black Quinoa (25kg)

Black quinoa is a whole, dark-coloured seed that cooks like a grain. It is supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, cafes, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also sold as black quinoa seeds, it keeps a firm bite after cooking, so it suits cold salads, grain bowls and batch-cooked sides. This wholesale ingredient adds strong colour contrast to a plate with no extra prep, which makes it a practical bulk buy for UK kitchens.

Key Features of Wholesale Black Quinoa

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Supplied as a bulk pack for kitchens and production lines that use quinoa every week. It also suits retailers and re-packers who divide stock into their own smaller units.
• Trade Pricing: Buying a bulk box at wholesale price is a cost-effective way to lower your cost per portion. It helps you hold menu margins on grain-based dishes.
• Colour and Contrast: The dark, near-black grains stand out against leaves, pale grains, roasted vegetables and light dressings. Plates look distinctive without added garnish.
• Texture and Flavour: Mild, earthy and slightly nutty, with a gentle crunch. The grains stay separate and do not turn mushy, so they hold well in chilled salads.
• Cooking Notes: Rinse before cooking and drain well afterwards. Black quinoa takes a little longer to cook than white quinoa, so allow for this when batch cooking. It also mixes easily with white or red quinoa for tricolour blends.
• Storage & Handling: Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from strong odours. Reseal the bulk pack tightly after each use.
