Advantages of Quinoa for your Health
Although Quinoa has been cultivated in South America since ancient times, quinoa has acquired favor as a health food in the United States and other Westernized countries.
Over the last several decades, quinoa's appeal has increased dramatically in tandem with the surge in demand for wholesome, gluten-free grain substitutes that are simple to grow. Quinoa is rich in nutrients and may also have health advantages.
1. Nutritional- Grain crops like quinoa are cultivated for their edible seeds. We refer to these seeds as quinoa, which is pronounced KEEN-wah.
2. Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory properties- Real foods have health benefits beyond just providing vitamins and minerals.
3. High Fiber- 5.18 grams of fiber make up a serving of cooked quinoa that weighs one cup (185 grams). That equates to roughly 18% of the 28-gram. Quinoa is higher in fiber than a number of other widely consumed cereals, such as brown rice.
4. Gluten-free- Since quinoa is naturally gluten-free, it's a healthy option for anyone looking to reduce their gluten intake.
5. Source of Protein- One common term for quinoa is "complete protein." This is due to the fact that it includes all nine of the essential amino acids, which are not produced by your body naturally.
