Whole Quinoa Flour – Revolutionise your kitchen
Whole Quinoa Flour by FoodSeries is a natural food made from quinoa.
It’s produced through the milling of quinoa seeds to obtain its flour. Since the outer layer of this pseudocereal is not removed, the fibre remains intact, resulting in a wholemeal flour.
Quinoa flour is a fantastic ingredient for a wide range of recipes, especially gluten-free ones.

Quinoa: what is it and why make flour from it?
Quinoa is a pseudocereal traditionally grown in the Andean region of South America. It’s a seed, but used similarly to cereals. Quinoa is prized globally for its high protein content, as well as its full profile of essential amino acids. It also contains significant amounts of fibre and is naturally gluten-free. At HSN, thanks to our controlled processing system, we guarantee our whole quinoa flour is 100% gluten-free. Enjoy a mild-tasting, highly versatile flour that’s ideal for any diet – including coeliac diets.
Quinoa flour is made to expand the uses of traditional quinoa in cooking, particularly for its starch content in baked goods and gluten-free recipes. Once milled, it becomes a fine flour suitable for breads, biscuits, pancakes and batter mixes – all with excellent nutritional value thanks to its wholemeal nature, and far more nutritious than traditional refined flours like wheat.
A flour with powerful nutritional benefits
Quinoa flour is an excellent option for all types of diets:
- 52% carbohydrates: with 52g of carbs per 100g of profuct and just 3.3% sugar, it’s a high-starch flour with a low glycaemic index.
- 11% fibre: its high fibre content comes from the minimal refining of the seed, making it ideal for those looking to improve their dietary fibre intake.
- 17% protein: with 17g of protein per 100g, it’s considered a great source of complete plant-based protein.
A high-quality, gluten-free flour that supports your wellbeing.
100% Gluten-free. Ideal for coeliacs
Many flours, including quinoa flour, are often unsuitable for those with coeliac disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity due to gluten content, which limits their role in a healthy lifestyle.
HSN’s whole quinoa flour is completely gluten-free – free from the allergen both naturally (as part of the grain) and from environmental exposure (cross-contamination). It’s a wholemeal flour that’s totally safe for coeliacs following a gluten-free diet.
Made from authentic whole quinoa
Quinoa as a pseudocereal is often subject to various treatments, with dehulling being among the most common. At HSN, we don’t use any processing beyond mechanical milling using traditional methods. This is how we produce our top-quality whole quinoa flour, using the entire grain.
How to use quinoa flour – Recipe ideas
Quinoa flour is perfect for healthy recipes such as protein pancakes, wholemeal muffins, gluten-free cookies, bread or more nutritious pizza bases. You can also use it to thicken soups or sauces instead of refined flours, or for making doughs for sweet and savoury tarts with an added boost of plant protein. Combined with other gluten-free flours like rice or almond flour, it’s great for making everything from energy porridges to homemade protein bars, simply by mixing it with protein powder.
A simple and healthy recipe using quinoa flour is protein pancakes. To make them, mix quinoa flour with eggs, plant-based milk, a little baking powder and, if you want more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein. Cook the mixture in a non-stick pan until golden on both sides. The result is soft, gluten-free pancakes rich in plant-based protein – perfect for a balanced breakfast or post-workout snack.
For paleo, vegan diets – and more!
Whole quinoa flour, made from an ancient, plant-based and gluten-free pseudocereal, is suitable for all kinds of diets. It contains no typical allergens and is also suitable for paleo diets.
Use it with other healthy HSN ingredients
As already suggested, whole quinoa flour pairs perfectly with other gluten-containing flours like oat flour, provided you’re not coeliac, as the combination adds elasticity to your doughs and batters.
Of course, you can also use other healthy ingredients like Ghee or coconut oil in your recipes.
