Description

United Nations declared 2013 the ‘International Year of Quinoa’. Quinoa was already in every health conscious persons lips and this helped it further popularise this amazing seed.
The whole vegan movement was one of the reasons that Quinoa reached the heights it did. Also the fact that more people are gluten allergic or just looking for gluten free options.
Quinoa is a seed and not a grain, though also of use are using the seed as a grain alternative. Quinoa’s high magnesium coated also makes it a healthy food for people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes — the condition is frequently linked to magnesium deficiency.

Key benefits of quinoa seeds:

• Rich in fiber, supporting digestion and satiety for longer between meals.
• Packed with minerals like magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and iron — supporting metabolism, bone health and energy.
• Gluten-free and low glycemic index — suitable for those managing gluten intolerance or seeking stable blood-sugar.
• Versatile and easy to use — from breakfast bowls to dinner-plates, making healthy eating more accessible.

How to store:

• Use an airtight container or resealable pouch to keep moisture out.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from high heat and sunlight.
• After opening, reseal immediately.
• For best quality, keep the seeds away from strong odors (they may absorb them).
