The Benefits of Quinoa
What makes it a good alternative to other grains
- Curbs carb and sugar cravings. Often these cravings are protein cravings in disguise
- It contains more protein (14% by mass) and fat than most grains which makes it an excellent alternative to white rice or refined carbohydrates, especially for vegetarians and vegans
- The simple and satisfying "pseudo-grain" is especially attractive for those with weak digestion or recovering from illness
- High in fibre, soothing to the digestive tract, and slightly cooling, relieving inflammatory conditions
- Quinoa is rich in iron, and restores strength to deficient blood. It contains more calcium than milk, and is rich in magnesium and phosphorus. Magnesium relaxes and nourishes the heart and muscles, while it promotes heart function
