Quinoa quickly became the must-have gluten-free ancient grain on every health-conscious consumer's plate and one of the world's most popular superfoods, but it has waned in popularity since many consumers are opting for vibrant grain mixes instead—at Natural Products Expo West, Tiny Hero launched a new product line of quinoa and rice to remedy this.
Tiny Hero appeals to those who do not fancy themselves to be a "quinoasseur," but are looking for quick, healthy easy sides to support a main meal. The easy-to-make quinoa-based sides have the potential to be used for everything from breakfasts to lunches and dinners. Some of the recipes listed on Tiny Hero's site include savory egg muffins, veggie chili and street-style tacos, all of which can be made with its nutrient-dense quinoa products.
