Rainbow Quinoa
A tier
Rainbow quinoa is a multicolour retail blend—often broader than three-colour mixes, sometimes including pinkish and gold tones for a confetti look. Texture is mixed; flavour averages nutty. Marketed for visual bowls and family meals that want fun grain aesthetics. Cook to the firmest seeds present. Fluff without smashing reds and blacks. Interchangeable with tricolor in most recipes, slightly more colour range when blends are rich. Shoppers meeting Rainbow Quinoa for the first time should taste it plain before masking it; the Visual Confetti profile is easier to remember that way.
