Black quinoa is a type of quinoa that is a cross of white quinoa and lamb's quarter, a type of grain. The resulting crossbreed quinoa seed has a darker color than white quinoa and a crunchier texture. It also has a slightly sweeter taste and is typically harder to find than the more popular red and white quinoa varieties. It is gluten-free and is a popular option for those who regularly shop at specialty health food stores.
