  • Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)

    Pseudocereal cereal grain, annual plant, species of the genus Mar (Chenopodium) of the Amaranthaceae family.

    Few people know that black quinoa is not a cereal at all, as is commonly believed, but a plant of the amaranth family, a close relative of spinach. More than 6,000 years ago, in what is now South America, the Incas and Aztecs began to grow quinoa like corn and potatoes as a staple food. And only in recent years, thanks to the unique composition and properties of cereals, it began to occupy an important place in the diet of Europeans.

    Quinoa is high in plant protein that is completely absorbed by the body and is similar to milk. It is rich in protein necessary for the proper formation of the body, as well as riboflavin, thiamine, folic acid, vitamins A and E. In addition, the seeds contain sufficient amounts of lysine - an amino acid, thanks to which tissue healing is accelerated and the body's perception of calcium improves.

    Quinoa is ideal for raw foodists, as it is enough to soak the cereal for several hours without cooking. Black quinoa, in contrast to lighter ones, is harder and retains its shape when cooked. The grains taste neutral, with a slight nutty tinge, and therefore can be an ingredient in desserts, and various side dishes, and salads.
