What is Quinoa ?

Pronounced keen-WAH, Quinoa is one of the world’s most popular health foods. Quinoa is a flowering plant that belongs to the amaranth family. It is an annual plant that is grown for its edible seeds, which is what is generally used. So, when we refer to the benefits of quinoa, we mean the benefits of its seeds. It is an excellent source of a complete protein. It also contains a good amount of fiber and minerals. The composition of quinoa is similar to wheat or rice when cooked.

Why is Quinoa so good for you?
Quinoa has plentiful benefits. Its fiber content makes it a great food for weight loss and treating other digestive issues. The fiber also protects the heart and prevents deadly diseases like cancer. The antioxidants this food contains work magically for skin and hair health. The seeds are rich in B vitamins, vitamin E, and other minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. They are highly nutritious.
