QUINOA

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a highly nutritious, gluten-free grain native to the Andean region of South America. Often referred to as a "pseudo-cereal," quinoa is technically a seed but is commonly used as a grain due to its cooking properties. It has gained global popularity for its impressive nutritional profile, being rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. Unlike many other grains, quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source, ideal for vegetarians and vegans. It is also low on the glycemic index, making it a great option for people managing blood sugar levels. Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, with a mild, nutty flavor that makes it a versatile addition to salads, bowls, soups, and more. As a sustainable and nutrient-dense food, quinoa is a great alternative to rice and other grains in modern diets.
