What is Quinoa?

Quinoa is a gluten-free seed that can make a great substitute for rice and other grains. these days, quinoa is still all anyone talks about. Everywhere we turn there are quinoa salads, quinoa fried rice, and now even quinoa protein shakes. Forged in South America thousands of years ago and called the mother grain by the Inca, quinoa today is still considered a superfood. But when and why did quinoa become so popular? What is it that makes this rice substitute so invaluable in the world of nutrition despite all the years that have passed? Overall, quinoa has an incredible nutrition base. Compared with refined grains, whole grains like quinoa are considered better sources of fiber, protein, B vitamins, and iron, according to the Mayo Clinic. But aside from these key nutrients, one of the greatest nutrient profiles quinoa can offer is its level of protein. Because protein makes up 15 percent of the grain, as reported by the Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council, quinoa is a high-protein, low-fat grain option. It's also naturally gluten-free, high in fiber, and provides many key vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B and magnesium. Because it is so nutrient-rich, quinoa is a wonderful choice for people on a gluten-free diet or any generally healthy diet.
