Quinoa white

Description

Quinoa is a nutritious, gluten-free seed that originates from the Andean region of South America, particularly Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. Often referred to as a “pseudo-grain” because it’s used like a grain but isn’t one botanically, quinoa has gained popularity worldwide as a health food. It has a fluffy, slightly crunchy texture with a mild, nutty flavor when cooked.

Quinoa is considered a “complete protein,” meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent protein source, especially for vegetarians and vegans. It’s also rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Versatile and easy to cook, quinoa works well in salads, soups, as a side dish, or even as a breakfast porridge, absorbing the flavors of the ingredients it’s paired with.
