PROPERTIES

• Organic quinoa grain is a seed that comes from the Andes. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. It has a high level of proteins, unsaturated fats, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins C, E, B1, B2, and phosphorus. Additionally, it is characterized by being one of the foods that contains the eight essential amino acids for humans, which makes it a very complete, highly nutritious, and easily digestible food. It is important to highlight that organic white quinoa is a source of soluble and insoluble fiber and has a very low glucose index, making it an ideal food for diabetics. Thanks to its fiber and unsaturated lipids content, quinoa helps control cholesterol levels.

PREPARATION

• Organic quinoa grain should be washed before cooking to remove the saponin it contains. To do this, rinse it under cold water for a few seconds. Cook it over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the grain becomes transparent. The perfect cooking time is reached when each quinoa grain has doubled in size and releases its white germ. It combines very well with the sulfurous flavors of onion or leek and with sweet ingredients like carrot or pumpkin. It also goes well with other chenopodiaceae, such as chard and spinach, allowing you to create dishes with beautiful color contrasts. It is also an excellent side dish for seitan and can be accompanied by mushrooms and other mushrooms such as shiitakes.
