Quinoa – one of the most beneficial grains!

Quinoa has high nutritional value. It is considered a rich source of protein and essential fatty acids or monounsaturated fats (such as oleic acid). Also, quinoa is a good source of vitamin E. It has a high concentration of calcium and other minerals, as well as an abundance of antioxidants (quercetin and kaempferol).

The crop has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the risk of allergies. It is used by diabetics, as it also reduces the risk of developing diabetes. The key is the high content of fiber and protein, necessary for maintaining normal blood sugar levels.

Preparation: The grains should be washed thoroughly under running water. Then place in a pot with water in a 1:2 ratio and after the water boils, leave the quinoa on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
