Quinoa (250g)

• Quinoa is considered one of the worlds healthiest foods. A gluten free alternative to starchy grains.

• Quinoa is an edible seed, classified as pseudo grain.

• Quinoa seeds are rich in dietary fibre, protein, vitamin B and dietary minerals.

• Since quinoa is very rich in dietary fibre it can prevent and treat constipation and may lower your risk of intestinal cancers.

• It also helps you feel full for longer, which makes it a great aid in weight loss and maintenance of heathy weight.

• Quinoa is an easy to cook whole grain.

You should rince quinoa before cooking it in order to remove the bitter and soapy taste caused by the outer coating called saponin. You’ll need a fine mesh sieve so you don’t lose the tiny seeds down the drain.

To prepare quinoa, cover it with seasoned water, stock, or vegetable broth, bring it to a boil, then put a tight-fitting lid on the pot, and turn the heat down to low. Simmer it until it softens, about 15 minutes; look for the tiny spirals of the germ to appear, a sign that it’s done. Drain it with a fine mesh sieve, return it to the warm pot to rest for about 10 minutes, and then fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Or use your rice cooker, with a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water.

• Use quinoa in just about any recipe calling for rice or another whole grain, such as rice salads, couscous recipes, or pilafs.

• If you keep some cooked quinoa on hand in either the fridge or freezer, you are always ready to toss it into any dish for added texture, body, and nutrition.
