Negra Collana

B tier

Negra Collana is a dark Bolivian highland quinoa—small blackish seeds, robust plant adaptation to harsh altiplano conditions, and firm, earthy cooking character. It represents serious traditional black quinoa genetics rather than generic dyed marketing. Chew is pronounced; flavour is deep. Cook carefully to tenderness; use where black quinoa drama and authenticity matter. Limited specialty import quantities. Rinse well. Shoppers meeting Negra Collana for the first time should taste it plain before masking it; the Highland Hardy profile is easier to remember that way.
