Quinoa contains a balanced content of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food. This means that less quinoa protein than wheat protein is needed for our needs.
Although it's actually a seed, quinoa is considered a whole grain and a good source of fiber. Quinoa also contains Omega 3 fats, which do not harm the heart. It is also a good source of phosphorus and has a lot of magnesium and iron. It does not contain gluten and is easily digested. The countries with the largest production of quinoa are Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. In recent years, its production is in the process of expansion in different geographical areas of the planet, among them Greece, as the plant thrives easily in certain Greek soil and climate conditions and is resistant to drought and salinity.
Keep in a cool and dry place.
