Three colours. Complete plant protein. Ancient Andean nourishment.
A colourful blend of organic white, red and black quinoa, INCA’S GOLD Tri-Colour Quinoa brings together three varieties of this ancient Andean food in one beautiful, versatile blend.
Quinoa was treasured by the Incas, who referred to it as the “Mother of all grains.” INCA’S GOLD sources its quinoa from Bolivia’s high-altitude Andean Altiplano, in the region surrounding the Salar de Uyuni salt flats. The company identifies this larger variety as Royal Quinoa, grown under the region’s uniquely harsh conditions.
It has a pleasant earthy, slightly nutty flavour and a mix of textures that makes it especially good for salads, grain bowls and colourful side dishes.
🌿 Why We Chose It
✓ Complete Plant Protein
Quinoa naturally provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it one of the relatively few plant foods considered a complete protein.
✓ Three Varieties in One
A blend of white, red & black quinoa gives you beautiful natural colour and a more interesting combination of textures than white quinoa alone.
✓ Royal Quinoa from the Andes
INCA’S GOLD quinoa is grown on Bolivia’s Andean Altiplano near the Salar de Uyuni salt flats. According to INCA’S GOLD, the harsh growing environment produces the larger-grained variety known as Royal Quinoa.
✓ Twice Washed
Quinoa naturally contains bitter-tasting saponins on its outer surface. INCA’S GOLD quinoa is twice washed, helping remove them before the quinoa reaches your kitchen.
✓ Naturally Gluten-Free
A naturally gluten-free whole food that makes an easy alternative to rice, couscous and other grain-based sides.
✓ Protein, Fibre & Minerals
Quinoa provides plant protein and fibre along with naturally occurring minerals such as iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
✓ Simple, Whole-Food Ingredients
Just organic white, red and black quinoa seeds — no additives or unnecessary ingredients.
🍚 How to Enjoy
Its colour makes this one especially nice for salads and grain bowls, but it also works beautifully in soups, casseroles, porridge or simply as a side in place of rice. INCA’S GOLD recommends cooking 1 part quinoa with 2 parts water or broth, simmering covered for about 15 minutes, then resting for 5 minutes before fluffing.

💛 Tucan Tip
Choose the Tri-Colour when you want a little more texture and colour on the plate. It’s especially beautiful in cold quinoa salads with vegetables, herbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
