Dear Healthy Food Lover:
Have you discovered organic quinoa yet? If you are looking for healthier food choices, look no further!
Known as the “Mother Grain” by Incan tribes in South America, the benefits of Quinoa are just being discovered elsewhere.
It Looks Like Rice. . . But It’s Not
The first time you see quinoa (pronounced “keen-wa”) you might be a bit perplexed. It is not rice or pasta or cous cous. . . although it looks similar.
Organic Quinoa is a Healthier Option
Organic Quinoa is a complete source of protein containing all nine amino acids—in particular lysine. Lysine aids in calcium absorption, among other things, but is not produced by the body and thus must be consumed. It’s also rich in vitamins A, E, and B which keep you looking. . . and feeling. . . young! Now who can’t use that!
But the Benefits of Organic Quinoa Don’t Stop There. . .
Organic quinoa boosts the immune system and reduces blood pressure as well. It’s also high in fiber and helps cleanse the body and regulate bowel movements. Plus, it doesn’t give a “bloated feeling” that sometimes comes with other high fiber foods.
Guilt-Free Eating
Once I discovered guilt-free eating, I was hooked and I think you will be too! If you want to start including quinoa in amazingly simple and healthy dinners for your family, I suggest you grab a copy of the Quinoa Cookbook today. You will learn everything you need to know about preparing and using this superfood. Even if you aren’t looking to lose weight, you will love the flavorful and imaginative recipes.
Putting a healthy dinner on the table is only a click away. Bon appetite!
