Analyst Perspective / Insight

“The quinoa flour buyers I would watch are snack and pasta brands, since a gluten-free cracker or noodle needs a flour that adds protein and bite without gums. Millers who heat-treat or sprout the grain to take out bitterness and lower microbial counts will hold those contracts for several years. Plain milled flour sold into home baking will grow slower, as rice-based blends keep the price low.” — Nandini Roy Choudhury, Principal Consultant, Future Market Insights
