Quinoa is a gluten-free grain that is a little healthy wonder. High in protein, fibre, and various other nutrients (more to come below), we get yours from The British Quinoa Company.
One of the many amazing things about quinoa is that it’s a complete protein, which means it contains all of the essential amino acids our body needs. It is also high in fibre, which can help regulate digestion, lower cholesterol levels, and help you feel fuller for longer.
Quinoa is also a good source of vitamins and minerals: including iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients are important for maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and other bodily functions.
This great grain is low on the glycemic index, that means it won't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels (like some other grains can, hey white rice, we’re looking at you). This makes it a good choice for people with diabetes or anyone looking to manage their blood sugar levels.
Quinoa is a big win for us. Which is why you’ll find us adding this healthy and nutritious food into salads like this one with grilled nectarines and chickpeas, topping up your tastebuds with falafels and fennel, as part of delicious mezze to pile into, matching it with jammy tomatoes and beans, and swapping it out for rice in this quinoa poke bowl.
