What is Quinoa?
Quinoa is a gluten free grain containing more protein than any other grain, with the perfect combination of all 8 essential amino acids. In addition, it is high in fibre and has a low GI, making it a great choice for diabetes. In fact, Quinoa is a healthy choice for everyone to include in their diet.
Quinoa is also high in a number of nutrients such as iron, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium and vitamin E.
When cooked, Quinoa has a nutty flavour and is light and fluffy. Its a great alternative to rice or cous cous, and can be served warm with a stir fry or cold in a salad. Quinoa can also be used in baking. See next page for Quinoa recipes.
