Quinoa often called a “superfood” or a “super grain,” 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. So, when we refer to the benefits of quinoa, we mean the benefits of its seeds. As the seeds are what we generally use.

The seeds are gluten-free. The composition of quinoa is similar to wheat or rice when cooked. It is an excellent source of protein (a complete source, as it contains all the nine essential amino acids). It also contains a good amount of fiber and minerals.

Quinoa is known for its high nutritional value. it contains calcium, iron and potassium, and is known to have superior protein content in comparison to other grains. It is a healthy alternative for cereals, especially for people with gluten intolerance and diabetes due to its low glycemic index, which helps in sugar control.
