For Restaurants, Quinoa is Just the Beginning

Quinoa is one of the best grains that a person can eat. There are three types of Quinoa: red, white, and black. All of these are being rapidly adopted by restaurants. This has resulted in a movement away from white rice. The reason for this is its wide applications, i.e. being baked into bread. Major chains are even getting involved. Chic-Fil-A, for example, has introduced Quinoa into one of their dishes. Since Quinoa is high in protein and is healthy, these moves are seen as a step in the right direction.

Key Takeaways:

• Quinoa has enjoyed renewed popularity among many restaurant patrons. Chefs are finding creative ways to include quinoa in recipes.
• Red, white and black quinoa are delicious grains to be eaten. They can be used for several different cooking styles at dinner.
• Chefs enjoy quinoa because it is a new grain to eat. Quinoa provides an alternative to eating bagels too often in a diet.

“The slow shift away from white rice, a staple in Asian cooking and an integral part of many bowls and burritos at limited-service restaurants, is a perfect example.”
