Quinoa
Quinoa is a nutritious grain-like seed that comes from a plant. It is often considered a superfood because it is packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein. Originating from South America, quinoa has been cultivated for thousands of years and has grown in popularity worldwide for its health benefits.
To make quinoa ready for consumption, the seeds are first harvested, dried, and then processed to remove the bitter outer coating. This process, called dehulling, makes the quinoa seeds edible and ready to be cooked. Quinoa is versatile and can be used in various dishes, from salads to soups, or even as a substitute for rice in many recipes.
Quinoa is a popular ingredient in many foods due to its nutty flavour and versatile nature. It can be found in products like granola bars, salads, and even veggie burgers. Not only does quinoa add a delicious taste and texture to dishes, but it also provides a good source of plant-based protein and essential amino acids. Its presence on food labels often highlights the health benefits and nutritional value it brings to the product.
