Also note that the statements below are given by consumers and not verified by Quinoa Corporation.

Quinoa is 35 on the *Glycemic Index and about 18 on the Glycemic Load.

A good source for people with wheat and gluten related food allergies as well as senior and diabetic diets.
*(Taken from the Glycemic Index in the book ‘Eat Yourself Slim’ by Michel Montignac.  This statement is not varified by Quinoa Corporation).

Quinoa is an Alkaline food
and not acidic.  Most people eat too many acid foods which lead to health problems, it is important to eat Alkalizing foods to have a proper balance. Submitted by Marcel Ikelaar of the Netherlands

4 more reasons to enjoy the benefits of quinoa:

1. It’s a VEGETARIAN solution, a balanced-amino-acid source of high quality protein.

2. It’s a SENIOR solution, a high-iron food that raises the hematocrit, delivers more oxygen to the brain, fights senility.

3. It’s a DIABETIC solution, a very low-glycemic-index cereal type food.

4. It’s a TASTE SOLUTION, quite delicious. I used it in a purple cabbage & romaine & onion salad, with a stalk of chopped celery & celery leaves, salt & pepper and a pinch of cumin, with ranch dressing. By the way, it MUST be purple cabbage rather than green.
