Quinoa is not more than a seed, but with unique characteristics as it can be consumed as a cereal, that is why we also call it pseudocereal. As such, quinoa provides most of its calories in the form of complex carbohydrates, but it also provides about 16 grams of protein per 100 grams and offers about 6 grams of fat in the same amount of food.

Likewise, we must highlight its high fiber content, since it can reach 15 grams per 100 grams, being mostly insoluble fiber as the seeds characteristically possess.

If we refer to micronutrients, in quinoa the content of potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc stands out among the minerals, while it also offers vitamins of the B complex in appreciable quantities and vitamin E with an antioxidant function.

Quinoa can be used as a cereal, it is especially beneficial in the diet of people with celiac disease, since it does not contain gluten.

Also, due to its high fiber content and its higher protein content compared to cereals, quinoa has a low glycemic index, which makes it ideal for people with diabetes or who want to lose weight by eating healthy.

It is also of great help to control blood cholesterol levels, since its fiber and unsaturated lipids favor the lipid profile in the body.
