Quinoa is known as a super food. Quinoa is a complete protein, containing all eight of the essential amino acids. It's packed with dietary fibre, phosphorus, magnesium and iron, is gluten-free and easy to digest. Not only that, it's delicious.
Quinoa is free of cholesterol and trans fats making it a great part of a heart healthy diet.
Quite simply, quinoa is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet! Vegans in particular should consider cooking quinoa, because it is a great way to get the amino acids that are missing in many other grains. It also has a higher protein content than any grain. Quinoa recipes are generally quite healthy and can be incorporated into any diet.
Additionally, it is a good source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, B vitamins, B6, Niacin and Thiamine.
The vegetable protein found in quinoa is much easier to digest than meat protein and the slow releasing carbohydrates help maintain blood sugar levels and keep you fuller longer.
