HEALTH TIP
Quinoa contains a lot of protein (14%) as well as the full range of essential amino acids. It also has a high content of B complex vitamins (except B12 which is of animal origin). Very rich in iron, it is also an excellent source of manganese, a trace element essential to health. In addition, it provides several minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. It is also a good source of fiber.
