Due to high demand and short supply, red quinoa (pronounced ”KEEN-wah”) is currently out-of-stock. We estimate that supplies will be available sometime in April.

The good news is traditional quinoa (pale yellow in color) is still available in the bulk department at Valley Natural Foods. We also sell pre-rinsed and packaged quinoa in trail 6. Traditional quinoa can be used in exactly the same way as red quinoa.

If you are not familiar with this highly nutritious grain, its worth trying because it’s so versatile, making it a good substitute for almost any grain in almost any recipe. Stop by the Valley Natural Foods deli and ask for a sample of our ever popular, fresh and tasty Co-op Quinoa Tabouli!

For recipes, visit Ancient Harvest recipe site. Ancient Harvest brand quinoa is one of our popular packaged brands.

 Most of our greens are locally sourced now, so this is the time to benefit from their freshness, great quality, and high nutrition. Eating greens with vitamin C enhances the body’s absorption of iron, so here we see lemon and orange juice not only contributing their wonderful bright flavors, but also enhancing the nutritional value of the meal. Wild rice and quinoa are both excellent plant-based sources of protein, while pecans, apricots and shitake mushrooms contribute an array of nutritional properties while giving us something yummy and satisfying to chew on!

You are invited  to experience the taste at our demo kiosk this Saturday, July 3, anytime between 3:00-5:00 p.m.
