Quinoa

Quinoa is an essential element in the diet of the native peoples of the Andes. It is not a cereal grain but it can be used in similar ways.

It is particularly rich in nutritional properties: it contains all 9 essential amino acids and it is higher in protein content than rice or wheat.
It is therefore very nourishing but not excessively high in calories.

It does not contain gluten and is therefore suitable for coeliac individuals.
