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.

Do you know what BIO is?
The terms ECO, BIO or ORGANIC mean a product with a mass of at least 95% organic ingredients. The remaining 5% is left in case of atmospheric pollution such as acid rain or pesticides brought by the wind from a neighboring property, etc., and the use of additional ingredients (not ECO), which are also precisely defined.
