FAQs
What is quinoa?
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) has become a popular health food in recent years, and for good reason. This versatile grain is packed with nutrients and offers a variety of health benefits.
Quinoa is a seed from the chenopodium or goosefoot plant, native to the Andean region of South America. It has been cultivated for thousands of years as a staple food by the Incas.
Though not technically a grain, it is classified as a pseudocereal because it shares similar nutritional properties to grains like rice and wheat.
Also, quinoa is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe and healthy option for people with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.
As a versatile ingredient, it is used in a variety of dishes such as salads, soups and stews, or as a breakfast porridge.
What are the nutritional benefits of quinoa?
Quinoa is packed with nutrition and is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. This makes it an excellent plant-based source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans.
It’s also a good source of fibre, which is important for digestive health and can help you feel fuller for longer.
Quinoa provides several vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese.
Many people eat quinoa because the fibre and antioxidants may help to lower your risk of heart disease – and its high protein level will help you feel fuller for longer.
As a complex carbohydrate, it releases energy slowly into your bloodstream, helping to keep you energised throughout the day.
