What is BIO QUINOA?
Quinoa has been known for more than 4,000 years in Peru, Colombia and Bolivia.
Quinoa is a small seed that has undergone special treatment and the top bitter layer has been removed.
It deservedly bears the definition of "super food" because it contains a high amount of nutrients - amino acids, vitamin E, calcium, iron, phosphorus and others.
Benefits of taking BIO QUINOA
This modern "super food" is so popular because it contains:
- High amount of essential amino acids, which makes it suitable for athletes
- Fiberс for good digestion and weight loss
- Antioxidants that boost the immune system, slow down aging and reduce the risk of cancer cells
- Magnesium to improve the work of the cardiovascular system and reduce muscle cramps
- B vitamins that provide energy
- Quinoa does not contain gluten, which makes it an ideal food for people with gluten intolerance.
Method of preparation
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under lukewarm running water. For every 1½ cup of quinoa, heat 1 tablespoon of fat. Stir constantly for about 6-8 minutes so as not to burn. Pour 2 cups of cold water or broth for every 1 cup of quinoa. Boil. Stir in the quinoa, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Use a fork to separate the grains. It is ideal as an addition to salads, soups or any other dishes of your choice.
