Quinoa

Quinoa is an amino acid rich seed which is an excellent diet friendly and hunger fighting protein. It helps to fill you up with very few calories and stay full for a long time. This is considered as a complete protein source as it contains all the nine essential amino acids our body needs. One cup of Quinoa is packed with as much protein as four eggs.


Quinoa is also a good source of dietary fiber and rich in magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorous and promotes cardiovascular health, reduces hypertension and helps maintain blood glucose levels.


Quinoa is gluten free and is considered to be easily digestible and relatively allergy free.


Quinoa is a complete food as it contains carbohydrate, soluble and insoluble fiber, wide array of vitamins and minerals, amino acids, sugar, sodium, fatty acids and more. The carbohydrates in Quinoa release very slowly into your blood steam and provides a steady supply of energy and keeps you full, healthy and satiated.

So start adding this superfood to your diet and stay healthy!
