Description
White quinoa (quinoa) organic 1 kg - Batom
Organic white quinoa, also known as quinoa or Peruvian rice, is a pseudocereal native to South America. It has been cultivated in that region for over 5,000 years, which is why it is sometimes called "Inca gold."
Quinoa is a source of high-quality plant protein, which is ideal for a vegan diet, as well as 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. Its low glycemic index makes it a good addition to the diet of diabetics.
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.
