What is quinoa?
Quinoa is a grain that was known as the “mother grain” and was loved in the ancient Inca Empire. It also became famous because NASA used it for space food.
Quinoa has a vitality that can grow even in the high Andean mountains with little rain and harsh conditions!
It is especially high in protein, minerals, fat and fiber. It is also rich in calcium, so you can expect the benefit of preventing osteoporosis.All the essential amino acids needed to maintain a healthy body are contained, too.
Quinoa is also rich in folic acid and iron, which produce healthy red blood cells, so it is especially recommended for anemic women.
It is also high in zinc, which reduces the sensitivity to cold.
It is a tiny grain, so without knowing it, you may not notice that it is in the sushi rice, but just look carefully to find it.
Looking for the shape of the letter C of the quinoa germ may make it easier.
