RED QUINOA... THE CEREAL THAT REPLACED MEAT
Quinoa is a shrub whose seeds are eaten and come in many colors: white, red, black and blue
Red and golden quinoa are nutritionally the same. Red makes for a very beautiful appearance.
Quinoa had great nutritional importance for pre-Columbian Andean cultures. It was the second main food after potatoes and was followed by corn.
Today it is highly regarded for its nutritional value, it has been classified as a superfood for its high protein content.
Unlike rice or wheat, which are low in lysine, quinoa contains a balanced content of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food.
This means that we need less quinoa protein than wheat protein for our needs. Although it is actually a seed, quinoa is considered a complete grain and a good source of fiber.
Quinoa also contains Omega 3 fats, which do not harm the heart. It is also a good source of phosphorus and has a lot of magnesium and iron. It is gluten-free and easily digestible.
