Quinoa is pronounced as ‘Keen-wah’ which has gained a lot of popularity nowadays due to the trend of healthy and vegan lifestyle. There are over 120 different varieties of quinoa, but the most common ones come of black, red, yellow, and white. Quinoa seeds are harvested and undergo processing for removal of natural saponins. Saponins is its outer coating that has a bitter taste.
Although quinoa is a seed, it is classified as a whole grain. It has high content of plant protein and fibre. Just one cup of cooked quinoa can provide you about 8 grams of protein and 5 grains of fibre. Unlike other plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein. This means that quinoa possess all the essential amino acids that our body needs. Quinoa is also a good source of many vital vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B and magnesium.
