Hey, I’ve got an amazing quinoa recipe to share with you! It is one of my family’s favorites.
Quinoa is often dubbed the ultimate “super food”. This is because of its high
protein, fiber, antioxidants, and various nutrients. It also helps improve digestive health! Its simple preparation and fluffy texture make it perfect for any mealtime.
It’s an effective way to curb cravings.
Though technically a seed, quinoa is classified as a whole grain. Unlike most grains, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning
it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. This food can help manage hunger, support weight loss, and reduce the risk of diabetes.
I’d like to mention that quinoa also contains flavonoids and antioxidants that promote cellular health. Among these are kaempferol and quercetin, known
for:
- antidepressant,
- anticancer,
- antiviral, and
- anti-inflammatory properties.
Isn’t it incredible how many health benefits you can gain from consuming this superfood? Pair that with the other ingredients in our apple cranberry quinoa recipe, and the nutritional value skyrockets!
Enjoy as a lunch dish, breakfast, snack, or dinner. Serve it warm or cold.
