Nut Basket Quinoa Seeds 250g

Quinoa seeds are small, round grains that come in a variety of colors, including white, red, black, and mixed varieties. Although commonly referred to as a grain, quinoa is actually a seed from the Chenopodium plant, making it a pseudo-cereal. Quinoa has a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a fluffy yet slightly chewy texture when cooked.

Nutritionally, quinoa is a powerhouse, often called a superfood. It’s one of the few plant-based foods that is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. In addition to being rich in protein, quinoa is also high in fiber, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. It's naturally gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Quinoa is incredibly versatile in cooking, commonly used in salads, soups, and as a side dish in place of rice or couscous. It can also be incorporated into breakfast bowls, baked goods, or even ground into flour. Its nutritional profile and adaptability have made it a staple in healthy diets worldwide.
