Description

The listing, Organic RED Quinoa Seeds - Superfood - Gluten Free & Rich in Protein - 50 has ended.

Quinoa is a highly nutritious food. The nutritional quality of this crop has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. The protein quality and quantity in quinoa seed is often superior to those of more common cereal grains. Quinoa is higher in amino acid lysine than wheat, and the amino acid content of quinoa seed is considered well-balanced for human and animal nutrition, similar to that of casein.

Quinoa is used to make flour, soup, breakfast cereal, pilaf etc. Quinoa flour works well as a starch extender when combined with wheat flour or grain, or corn meal, in making biscuits, bread, and processed food.

The leaves are frequently eaten as a leafy vegetable, like spinach.

Quinoa grain has a lower sodium content and is higher in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc than wheat, barley, or corn.

Quinoa was important to the diet of pre-Columbian Andean civilizations. Quinoa has been called a superfood. Protein content is very high for a cereal/pseudo-cereal (14% by mass). Quinoa's protein content per 100 calories is higher than brown rice, potatoes, barley and millet. Nutritional evaluations of quinoa indicate that it is a source of complete protein.It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also a source of calcium, and thus is useful for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. Because of all these characteristics, quinoa is being considered a possible crop in NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration human occupied spaceflights.

I will ship the seeds once the payment is made and the Listia verified address is sent. I accept PAYPAL, money order, check and concealed cash.
