Black Quinoa Organic 200gr

Quinoa is a shrub and belongs to the same family as beets and spinach. Its seeds come in many colors (white, red, black, blue, etc.). In recent years, quinoa seems to have become a dietary supplement for many and a key ingredient in diets for fat loss or for managing cholesterol, diabetes, and sugar. It is a natural source of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins. It has a high content of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and other trace elements, and is the only natural food that contains all the essential amino acids. It is easily digestible because, by nature, it does not contain gluten. Quinoa can replace any recipe made with rice, be incorporated into soups and salads, or even used as an alternative to common cereals.

Instructions: First, rinse it well to reduce its bitterness. Prepare it like you would with rice (one part quinoa to two parts water), bring the water to a boil, and add the quinoa. Then reduce the temperature, cover the pot, and let it boil for 12 - 15 minutes. Once it boils and fluffs up, it transforms into a translucent grain.
