Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah)
This is the most nutritious foods out there in the grain family. Read below for the Top 5 Facts of Quinoa. This ancient grain packs so many nutrients you might want to eat it lots and lots.
1. Protein
This could be a replacement to meat. Quinoa has 8g of protein per serving. Add a little leafy greens to your meal and you have a complete protein package. This grain contains all 9 of the amino acids making it one of my favorite grains.
2. Fiber
This grain has 5 grams of fiber per cup, and is a replacement for you heart health meals like cereals and such. With no added sugars and chemicals a serving of Quinoa a day will keep the bad cholesterol away.
3. Gluten Free
Quinoa is a grain that contains no Gluten. This is a great alternative to always using rice for gluten free recipes. My favorite gluten free pasta is made with Quinoa. Check it out: http://ancientharvest.com/
4. Decreases Pain
With its high level of magnesium and iron, Quinoa is something that should be a staple in everyone's household. According to Dr. Axe "80% of people have Magnesium deficiency resulting in chronic leg cramps, muscle pain, insomnia and anxiety." Woot Woot! Just chew to feel better :)
5. Antioxidants
Quinoa is high in flavanoids, a specific antioxidant that according to Dr. Axe may play a role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis and diabetes.
