Organic Quinoa is a super food, we have around. It was once called "the gold of the Incas" because it increased the resistance Inca warriors back to ancient times. It is also hailed as the "mother of all grains" because of the nutrients it provides. It has a texture, light fluffy when cooked and has the distinct nutty flavor that I think he is versatile to be served at any time of day. This is an excellent alternative to rice, pasta and oats.
What's great organic quinoa is its high protein value of quality. You can get up to 18% in a single serving. This is one of the foods that provide complete protein which means it includes all nine essential amino acids. Its protein content is higher than any other grain. Wheat is also rich in protein, but only thing missing is he lysine (type of amino acids) which Quinoa has in large quantity. If you are a vegetarian and you're tired of eating soybean and bean, you can switch to quinoa instead.
Another advantage of organic quinoa is that it is easy to digest and it contains no gluten. It also contains more iron than most grains and is rich in calcium, phosphorus, folic acid and vitamin B.
Studies show that quinoa contributes significantly in relieving symptoms of high cholesterol, hypertension and certain cardiovascular diseases diseases. People who suffer from migraines and hypertension can also enjoy eating quinoa because of its riboflavin and magnesium. They are known to help relax the blood vessels that in turn reduce the constriction to reduce tension build-up.
