All our rice is grown in small Greek family farms in Serres’s rivers and fields. The relatively extensive sunshine in September and October, in particular, is conducive to the good nutrition of the grain which is important for its quality and nutritional value. Rice is composed of carbs, with small amounts of protein and virtually no fat. Meanwhile, the abundant moisture, high temperatures and sunshine during the summer favour the growth and premium quality of rice.
This lovely blend makes an excellent side for meats, or a delicious base for pour-over meals, stir-fries or it can be mixed into salads. Quinoa makes a fantastic partner for rice. Quinoa is full of fiber and protein. Our mix provides healthy carbs that will encourage your body to slow down the digestive process and help keep your digestive track cleared out.
Is Quinoa healthier than rice? : A cup of quinoa will also provide twice the protein and about 5 grams more fiber than the same amount of white rice. Due to this higher quantity of protein and fiber, quinoa is not only the healthier choice but will also fill you up faster, allowing for smaller portion sizes. Out of all the superfoods out there, quinoa is one of the few which really lives up to the hype and deserves a place in the pantry. Is high in protein, fibre, B-vitamins, magnesium, calcium and vitamin E. It's also naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those who can’t consume gluten.
All that to say, don’t cut rice from your diet just because you’ve seen or heard that quinoa is a healthier replacement. You can enjoy both! What meat goes well Greek white rice with red quinoa?: This lovely blend on its own is a winner but adding succulent pork fillet cooked with garlic and fragrant rosemary just takes it up a notch. You could easily swap the pork out for beef fillet or even chicken breasts, if you were that way inclined.

Bulgur is an edible cereal grain made from dried, cracked wheat — most commonly durum wheat. It is parboiled, or partially cooked so that it can be prepared relatively quickly. When cooked, it has a similar consistency to couscous or quinoa. Bulgur originated in the Mediterranean and can be traced back thousands of years. To this day, it’s a staple ingredient in many Greek, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.
Greek Bulgur is an amazing source of dietary fibre, protein, iron, and vitamin B6 and contains gluten. Bulgur doesn't lose much from its minimal processing; it remains high in protein and minerals. That means it's an ideal foundation for meals, allowing you to skip higher-fat protein sources, like most meats.
When you look at bulgur and quinoa, they kinda look similar. But the difference is that bulgur is precooked cracked wheat, while quinoa is actually a seed. If you look at the nutrition comparison for both, quinoa is more nutritionally dense. Of all the quinoa colours, white quinoa has the most delicate taste and the lightest texture and it cooks up a bit fluffier than other types of quinoa. Red quinoa (which takes on a brownish hue when cooked) has a richer taste, slightly chewier and heartier texture, and somewhat nuttier flavour compared to white quinoa.
The cooking process is similar to that of rice or couscous in that boiling water is used to soften the grain. For every one part bulgur, you typically need about two parts water. It’s frequently used in salads — like tabbouleh — or pilafs, alongside herbs, vegetables, spices and sometimes other grains. It can be used as a base for breakfast-style porridges with oats, or in soups, stews and chilli.
