Quinoa is an Andean grain that has a tiny bead like size and a firm texture. It might not be a household name in the market just yet but its popularity is increasing due to its nutritional content. The Incas have known it all along as it has been considered the mother grain of all grains as they grew it high up in the Andes. Unlike wheat or rice, Quinoa is a complete protein substance containing all eight essential amino acids. It has been recognized by the United Nations as a super crop due to its health benefits. Quinoa is full of dietary fibers, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. Additionally, Quinoa is gluten-free and easily digestible making it a perfect ingredient for everyone.
