Quinoa is a versatile, complete protein whole grain that has all 9 essential amino acids necessary for human growth and development. Quinoa also contains more protein than any other grain. Quinoa is now widely known as one of the most complete natural foods on planet earth (because of its balanced profile of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients).
White quinoa has the lightest texture and tends to cook up fluffier, suitable as a substitute for rice, whereas red quinoa and black quinoa have a crunchier texture that is suitable for salads.
Health Benefits
Because Quinoa is a good source of magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, and Vitamin B2, the whole grains are valuable for persons with migraine headaches, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, childhood asthma and problems sleeping at night. Magnesium, being an important mineral for relaxing the blood vessels, can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Due to quinoa’s high fibre content, it helps improve digestion and prevent gallstones.

- Cook it like rice or porridge
