We at Quinoa Corporation are very pleased
and excited to introduce an amazing "new" food. It is called
quinoa (pronounced keen-wa), and is a grain that comes from the Andes Mountains
of South America. Quinoa's origins are truly
ancient. It was one of the three staple foods, along with corn and
potatoes, of the Inca civilization. Quinoa was known then, and still is known,
with respect, as the mother grain. We call it the "Supergrain of the
Future."
Quinoa contains more protein than
any other grain; an average of 16.2 percent, compared with 7.5 percent
for rice, 9.9 percent for millet, and 14 percent for wheat. Some varieties of
quinoa are more than 20 percent protein.
Quinoa's protein is of an unusually
high quality. It is a complete protein, with an essential amino acid balance
close to the ideal ... similar to milk!
Quinoa's protein is high in lysine,
methionine and cystine. This makes it an excellent food to combine with,
and boost the protein value of, other grains (which are low in lysine), or soy
(which is low in methionine and cystine).
Rich & Balanced
Source of Nutrients
Besides its unique
protein, quinoa also provides starch, sugars, oil (high in essential
linoleic acid), fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
Easy on the Stomach
Quinoa is light, tasty,
and easy to digest. It is not sticky or heavy like most other grains,
and it has a delicious flavor all its own.
Quick and Simple
to Prepare
A whole-grain dish of
quinoa takes just 15 minutes.
Versatile
Quinoa can be substituted
for almost any grain in almost any recipe. It looks and tastes great on its
own, or in any dish from soup to salad.
Perfect for Summertime
Many people eat grains only
during the colder months, but quinoa's lightness combined with its versatility
in cold dishes like salads and desserts makes it an ideal source of good
summertime nutrition.
Kids love it!
Quinoa is an excellent source of nutrition for
infants and children.
