Quinoa Flour
Quinoa flour is milled from whole quinoa, a naturally gluten-free seed, giving bakers an earthy, nutty flour with 14g of protein per 100g. It bakes a denser crumb than wheat flour, so it shines blended with other flours in breads, muffins, pancakes and flatbreads – or used to thicken sauces and soups.

Cooking with quinoa
Quinoa flour needs no rinsing – that step belongs to whole quinoa grain, which carries a bitter natural saponin coating: rinse the grain until the water runs clear, then simmer 1 part quinoa in 2 parts water for about 15 minutes. When baking with quinoa flour alone, expect a denser result; blending it with other flours gives a lighter crumb.

Quinoa Flour FAQs
Is quinoa flour gluten-free? Yes, it's milled from quinoa, which is naturally gluten-free, so it's a useful flour for coeliac and gluten-free baking.
Can I use quinoa flour on its own? You can, but it bakes a denser, earthier crumb. Most bakers blend it with other flours for a lighter result, using it for part of the mix in breads, muffins, pancakes and flatbreads.
Do I need to rinse quinoa flour? No. Rinsing is only for whole quinoa grain, which has a bitter saponin coating. The flour is ready to use.
How should I store it? Keep it airtight in a cool, dark cupboard. Like other wholegrain flours its natural oils last longer if you keep it in the fridge once opened.
