Quinoa. The protein in quinoa has high biological value, containing 20 essential amino acids necessary for the body's function. Among them are methionine and lysine, which enhance the immune system, learning ability, and memory. It is tolerated by individuals allergic to cow's milk and patients with celiac disease.

Quinoa is high in dietary fiber, promoting bowel function and prolonging satiety. It is a good source of magnesium, potassium, manganese, and vitamins (B1, B2, B3, D, and E) that regulate various metabolic functions.

• Cereals can be used in salads, cakes, or as a substitute for rice.
• The flakes can be consumed for breakfast with fruit, milk, or yogurt.
• The flour can be used in recipes for breads, pasta, cakes, and pies.
