Description
Red Quinoa (quinoa) ORGANIC 500 g - Bio Planet
Organic red quinoa, also known as quinoa or Peruvian rice, is a pseudocereal originating from South America.
Quinoa is a source of high-quality protein, valuable in a vegan diet, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It provides vitamins B, E, and D, as well as zinc, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Unsaturated fatty acids lower blood cholesterol levels, preventing atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
Organic quinoa is an interesting substitute for traditional groats, rice, or pasta. It works well as an ingredient in soups and stews, as an addition to salads, vegetables, sauces, and even sweet desserts.
