Organic White Quinoa
Non-GMO, Kosher, Raw, Vegan
- High-Quality Protein Source: White quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own. This makes it an excellent protein source for vegetarians and vegans. A cup of cooked quinoa provides about 8 grams of protein, which supports muscle development and repair.
- Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: It is an excellent source of several B-vitamins, including folate, which is crucial for cell function and tissue growth. White quinoa is also rich in minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc, contributing to bone health, improved immunity, and overall metabolic health.
- Fiber Content: Quinoa is high in dietary fiber, offering about 5 grams per cooked cup. Fiber aids in digestion, helps prevent constipation, and can contribute to lowering cholesterol levels and controlling blood sugar levels. The high fiber content in quinoa can also promote feelings of fullness, which may aid in weight management.
- Antioxidant-Rich: White quinoa contains potent antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol. Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, thereby reducing inflammation and protecting against chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
- Gluten-Free and Easy to Incorporate into Diets: For people with celiac disease or those following a gluten-free diet, white quinoa is an excellent food choice as it is naturally gluten-free. Its versatility also means it can be easily incorporated into various dishes, from salads and soups to breakfast bowls and even as a rice substitute in meals.
Incorporating white quinoa into your diet can be a delicious and nutritious way to enhance your overall health, thanks to its blend of essential nutrients, protein content, and versatility in cooking.
Classified as a superfood, quinoa is a seed, not a grain, and is naturally gluten-free. Quinoa is nutritionally dense and packed with vitamins and minerals. It is a complete protein and is a good source of vitamin B6, thiamin, fiber, iron, manganese, phosphorus, copper, magnesium and zinc.
Quinoa is rapidly growing in popularity due to its many health benefits. Although people can cook and eat quinoa seeds in a similar way to most grains, the quinoa plant itself is more similar to beetroots and spinach.
People can eat both the seeds and leaves of this versatile, nutritious plant. Farmers cultivate over 120 different types of quinoa. However, the most common versions available in grocery stores are white, red, and black quinoa.
Storage:
Whole grain can be kept for decades or indefinitely if stored properly, store in a cool dry location, or in a freezer. Once milled, it can be stored in a cool dry location for 3 months or 6 months in a freezer.
