Quinoa

What is Quinoa?

Quinoa, although considered a pseudocereal, is a seed of Andean origin, especially known for its excellent vegetable protein and its many other health benefits. Quinoa has a higher protein content than any other grain, making it a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. It is an excellent source of carbohydrates and very high in protein.

Characteristics of Quinoa

From a nutritional and nutritional perspective, quinoa is a natural source of vegetable protein and has a high nutritional value due to its combination of a higher proportion of essential amino acids.
Its caloric value is higher than that of other cereals, both in grain and flour, reaching 350 calories per 100 grams, which characterizes it as an appropriate food for cold areas and seasons. Its composition of essential amino acids gives it a biological value comparable only to that of milk and eggs.
