€2,13

Sfiziosa Red Quinoa and Basmati Rice is a 100% plant-based blend of the highest quality, created for those who want to combine taste, well-being and versatility in a single dish. This balanced combination brings together two outstanding ingredients of natural cuisine: red quinoa, rich in protein and minerals, and Basmati rice, known for its aromatic fragrance and digestibility. A natural, gluten-free product, also suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, meeting the needs of those seeking a healthy, complete and delicious diet.

features and properties: Red quinoa, with its crunchy grain and distinctive flavour, is nutritionally complete: it is rich in plant-based proteins, contains all essential amino acids, and is an important source of magnesium, iron, zinc and antioxidants. Basmati rice, with its long, slender grain, is appreciated for its low glycaemic index, digestibility and delicate aroma, which gives the blend balance and fullness. Together, they provide a light, balanced meal, rich in fibre and naturally gluten-free, also suitable for people with food intolerances or sensitivities.

directions: To fully enjoy the qualities of this product, we recommend rinsing the blend thoroughly and then cooking it in boiling water or stock for approximately 10 minutes. For an even quicker preparation, similar to couscous, use a ratio of 1:1 between hot water and Sfiziosa Red Quinoa and Basmati Rice, and leave covered to stand for a few minutes. This method produces a dish ready in a short time, while preserving its flavour, texture and nutritional properties.

in the kitchen: Delicious, fragrant and versatile, this blend is perfect for light one-dish meals, cold salads, creative accompaniments to vegetable, legume, white meat or fish dishes. It is also suitable for more elaborate recipes such as baked timbales, vegetable burgers or stuffing for vegetables. The slightly crunchy texture of red quinoa pairs perfectly with the softness and aroma of Basmati, creating a harmonious blend of flavour and texture in every bite.

ingredients: Basmati rice 36%, hulled green lentils 26%, hulled yellow lentils 22%, Red quinoa 18%.
