Description

Quinoa, pronounced ‘keen-wa’, is a gluten-free alternative to starchy grains. Although it often occupies a similar role to grains in dishes, quinoa is actually a seed from the same family as beets, chard and spinach. It is high in protein and an important plant source of all nine essential amino acids. Grown in South America (Peru, Chile and Bolivia) for thousands of years, quinoa formed the staple diet of the Incas and their descendants. In recent years, foodies have heralded it as a superior alternative to bulgur wheat, couscous and rice. Quinoa is high in anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, which make it potentially beneficial for human health in the prevention and treatment of disease. Quinoa contains small amounts of the heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids and, in comparison to common cereals, has a higher content of monounsaturated fat. It is one of the popular grain types that are rich in both fiber and protein. This is why white quinoa grain is widely preferred by many vegetarians and vegans in their daily diet. Moreover, white quinoa grain is a quite versatile ingredient that can be used in various ways. If you want to limit your couscous or rice consumption, then they can be the ideal choice for you too. One of the advantages of this ingredient is it is a completely gluten-free alternative.
