White quinoa is the most common and is usually cheaper than other varieties. The taste is slightly nutty. Red quinoa tastes quite similar, but is a bit firmer to the bite and has a minimally longer cooking time. Red quinoa, similar to the black version, also takes a bit longer to cook. Because it holds its shape and looks pretty, you're best off using it as a highlight for salads. Puffed quinoa is also known as the popcorn of the Incas and looks great in your breakfast.
