What is Quinoa?

Quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) is a dried seed that is native to South America (1). When cooked, quinoa is similar to brown rice. Quinoa is rich in fibre, protein & carbohydrates and is a gluten-free grain option, making it an ideal alternative to wheat or barley.

Quinoa also typically contains quercetin & kaempferol which provide antioxidant properties. Antioxidants can help fight free radicals and play a role in protecting DNA, proteins, and lipids from oxidative stress.
