Prepack Organic Quinoa Grain (500g)

Description

Quinoa, pronounced ‘keen-wa’, is a gluten-free alternative to starchy grains, as it is less allergenic and also contains a number of essential vitamins. Quinoa is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids and contains twice the protein of rice or barley. This makes it an excellent protein source, particularly for vegans and vegetarians. It is also an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, manganese B vitamins and vitamin E as well as dietary fibre.

Contrary to popular belief, quinoa is not a grain, but a seed. It is from the same family as beetroot, chard and spinach – making it gluten free and high in protein.
