Quinoa Flakes ORG 250gr

Quinoa flakes are simply mechanically flattened quinoa grains that have been pre-steamed to soften them. They are suitable for an ideal breakfast suitable for all types of diets, from vegan to gluten-free. Quinoa flakes provide all the health benefits of quinoa with a more familiar breakfast texture and a much faster cooking time.

Unlike quinoa, flakes can be cooked in no time at all. Bring water or plant-based milk to a quick boil, add the quinoa flakes, let it sit for a minute or two, stir well, and you're ready. Use a 1:3 ratio of quinoa flakes to water (1 cup of quinoa flakes to 3 cups of water). You can always adjust the water according to your texture preference. Use less for thicker cereals and more for thinner ones.

Use quinoa flakes in baked goods, as a fruit-free sweetener, and anywhere you'd use oats.

The exact nutritional profile varies but generally, 1/3 cup of quinoa flakes provides about 130 calories and just 2 grams of fat. Quinoa flakes also provide a healthy amount of dietary fiber, with about 2.5 grams per 1/3 cup and 4.3 grams of protein. They contain all nine of the essential amino acids you need to get from food sources.

Finally, quinoa flakes are considered a complete protein source, just like quinoa seeds.

They can be consumed in your favorite plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, rice, or oat milk, or in your yogurt.
