Contact SupplierOrganic Quinoa was regarded by the Ancient Incans of South America to be “the mother of all grains”. It provides a balanced serving of carbohydrates, protein, and dietary fiber, along with significant amounts of B vitamins, Vitamin E, and omega-6 essential fatty acids, providing all around nutrition for the entire body. Organic Quinoa is rich in fiber, higher in protein than any other grain, gluten free, low on glycemic index, heart healthy and very tasty. It cooks up quickly into a fluffy texture with a pleasant earthy flavor. Organic quinoa was once called "the gold of the Incas" for increasing the stamina of Incan warriors, known to be cultivated by Incan tribes in the Andes Mountains of South America. Quinoa is quickly becoming a staple in healthy diets thanks to its mild irresistible flavor. A natural antioxidant which is believed to prevent certain cancers and have anti-aging properties. Easy to cook, quinoa fluffs up and expands just like rice, millet or couscous.
Organic Quinoa is a 100 % vegetarian reference protein - which means that all the protein present in it is absorbed by the body. The only other food that does this is egg white, a non - vegetarian option. Quinoa flour can also be made simply by mashing up the quinoa and using the powder for any dish. Ultimately, though, it is how you treat your flour that takes away or adds to its benefits. Bathing it in ghee, oil or sugar will cancel pretty much most of its health benefits.
