Quinoa is a seed with very high nutritional value because it contains protein (13%), 10 amino acids, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, calcium, and a wealth of trace minerals. At the same time, it has very low levels of fat.

Foods rich in dietary fiber and protein, like quinoa, help maintain good bowel function and reduce blood sugar levels, resulting in a decreased likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, while iron and magnesium provide us with energy and assist in the proper functioning of muscles.

Quinoa contains twice the amount of calcium as whole wheat flour, and just 28 grams of quinoa per day meets the body's needs for folic acid.

Additionally, quinoa is a good source of Omega-3 fats and phosphorus. It is gluten-free and particularly easy to digest.
