Why Quinoa is good for you:

🌱 Loaded with minerals and antioxidants

Quinoa is rich in protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, folate, thiamine, Vitamin B6, iron and copper.

🌱 Fiber content higher than most grains

A cup of cooked quinoa contains 21% RDI of fiber. Most of this is insoluble fiber, which improves gut health and reduces constipation. Quinoa is also more easily digestible than most grains, and provides satiety better than wheat or rice.

Quinoa is a low-glycemic index carbohydrate, which means it curbs hunger and reduces risk of obesity. It is also rich in magnesium and quercetin, which aids in management of diabetes and hypertension.

🌱 Help fight aging and many diseases

Quinoa is very rich in antioxidants, which preserve cellular health and neutralize free radicals to help fight aging. Its dietary fiber also helps lower cholesterol, and it has anti-inflammatory nutrients that reduces risk for cancer.
