Source : ANSES, table Ciqual 2025 (mise à jour du 19/11/2025), record 9341, published by ANSES as « Quinoa, bouilli/cuit à l'eau, sans sel ajouté ». DOI : 10.57745/RDMHWY. Data made available under the Open Licence 2.0. ANSES does not endorse or review Radish. Method and sources.

Where these figures come from

The Ciqual table is published by ANSES and describes the French food supply: it pools laboratory analyses, manufacturer submissions and recipe calculations. Radish copies record 9341, published by ANSES as “Quinoa, bouilli/cuit à l'eau, sans sel ajouté”, as it stands; it does not recompute it.

For starchy foods, raw versus cooked changes everything: cooking takes up water, mass rises and per-100 g figures fall accordingly. Checking which of the two states this record covers is the cheapest precaution on this page.

Of the 17 lines above, 17 carry a number. A cell without a number is not a zero: the source does not publish the amount, or it falls below the measurement threshold.

Nutri-Score: how the letter is obtained

Cooked quinoa is scored on the scale for general solid foods, one of the three used by the revised algorithm (Nutri-Score scientific committee, 2022–2023; adopted in France by the order of 14 March 2025), applied to the figures shown above.

Unfavourable points (1)

Favourable points (2)

1 − 2 = -1 points, class A. The heaviest single item here is energy, at 1 of the 1 unfavourable points. The letter applies to this table record, not to a branded product.

Nutri-Score® is a registered collective trademark of Santé publique France. Radish is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Santé publique France: this letter is recomputed by Radish from the table record. During the transition period provided for by the regulations, a package may still carry a letter from the previous algorithm, and therefore a different one.

Where this record sits among starches

Radish holds 1408 starches sourced from an institutional table; this record is the 219th energy value in ascending order out of 1408. Of the 1449 starches in the database, 1408 come from an institutional table and are the only ones counted in these medians. Per 100 g:

Careful with these medians: they pool raw and cooked starches in one set, and cooking alone moves a per-100 g figure. This position and these medians describe the Radish database, not the quality of a food: they say neither that it should be eaten nor that it should be avoided.
