Why it is good for you
All nine amino acids
One of very few plant foods with a complete protein profile — rare outside meat and dairy.
Naturally gluten-free
A seed, not a grain, so it suits gluten-free and wheat-light kitchens.
Gentle on blood sugar
Fibre and protein together give quinoa a lower glycaemic impact than polished rice.
Iron and magnesium
Useful amounts of both, which vegetarian diets often need more of.
Best used for
Rinse well before cooking to wash off the natural saponin coating.
