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

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.
