Quinoa is a seed with very high nutritional value because it contains protein (13%), 10 amino acids, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, calcium, and numerous trace minerals. At the same time, it has very low fat levels.

Foods rich in dietary fiber and protein, such as quinoa, help maintain good intestinal function and reduce sugar levels, resulting in decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, while iron and magnesium provide us with energy and aid in the proper functioning of muscles.

Quinoa contains twice the amount of calcium compared to whole wheat flour, and with just 28 grams of quinoa per day, the body's needs for folic acid are met.

Additionally, quinoa is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids and phosphorus. It is gluten-free and is particularly easily digestible.
