Golden Quinoa
Premium, 100% traceable, Canadian-grown Golden Quinoa.
Our high protein Golden Quinoa comes from Jamie Draves in Iron Springs Alberta.
Quinoa, like its cousins amaranth and buckwheat, is a tiny seed loaded with protein and high in magnesium, iron and calcium. While most quinoa we find in stores in North America grows in the high Andes of Bolivia and Peru, Canadian prairie farmers have been cultivating the grain for decades.
To cook, combine 1 part Quinoa with 1 1/4 parts water. Cover and bring to a boil and turn the heat to low. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the heat off and allow to rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff with a fork. We recommend rinsing our Golden Quinoa to decrease any bitterness that is naturally present in the grain.
Golden Quinoa is perfect for salads and grain bowls. Browse our favourite Golden Quinoa recipes here.
To keep our products at their best, store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.

Our Philosophy
Traceable food is trustworthy food.
Flourist was co-founded in 2013 by Janna Bishop and Shira McDermott, a clothing designer and food industry pro respectively, to fill what they saw as a gap in the growing farm to table movement, and to provide supply chain transparency in a whole new food category.
We focus on grains because that’s where we can make the most impact — it’s a cornerstone of kitchens globally. Grains allow us to go big, to give a lot of people access to high quality, nourishing food. Traceable food is trustworthy food.
Our vertically-integrated supply chain connects Canadian farmers directly to people who value quality and craft. Together, we're creating food security for future generations.
