Quinoa: SUPER FOOD ALERT!!
Quinoa is a grain-like crop that is highly appreciated for having amazing nutritional value. Nutritional evaluations indicate that it is a source of complete protein, which contains all of the essential amino acids that the body requires from diet. Furthermore, it is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also a source of calcium, and thus is useful for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant. It is gluten-free and considered easy to digest, so its great for even the most restricted eaters!
When preparing it in a recipe it's important to know that Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it an alternative to white rice or couscous.
Quit eating those simple carbs that won't do anything for your body and start eating one of the world's oldest and greatest super foods!!
