Product Details
Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa is a complete protein - containing all eight of the essential amino acids. It has been recognised by the United Nations as a supercrop for its health benefits: packed with dietary fibre, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. It is also gluten-free and easy to digest. The facts suggest it is close to a perfect ingredient as you can get.
It is pronounced KEEN-wah. Quinoa is tiny, bead-shaped, with a slightly bitter flavour and firm texture. The Incas have known it all along, for thousands of years regarding it as the 'mother grain' as they grew it high up in the Andes.

Our Nutritionist Says
Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. It’s also a good substitute for rice.
PREGNANT MOM:
High in magnesium, potassium, iron, fiber, and folate, that’s especially important during pregnancy due to its role in fetal growth and development.
