Most households have not yet had the pleasure of being acquainted with the wonder of the Quinoa diet.
Apparently, United Nation's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) wanted to change that. This is why they declared the year 2013 as the "Quinoa International Year." As initiated by the government of Bolivia and other Central and South African nations (CAR), Quinoa is now being set apart worldwide as a highly nutritious and easily prepared food. They want to introduce the world to the inherently remarkable nature of this superfood.
Their goal is to use the pragmatic health benefits of Quinoa as an international platform to address and alleviate poverty and food insecurity that permeates in every corner of the developing world. First things first, what is Quinoa? What makes it exceptional from other dietary staple food? What is the nutritional breakdown of Quinoa?It is a common misconception of those unfamiliar with the biological description of Quinoa to consider it as a whole grain.
To be fair, it could be wrongfully categorized under the category of whole grains like barley and rice, simply because it is cooked in the same manner (the latter portion of this chapter will talk about the procedure on how to cook Quinoa). Quinoa is not a whole grain. It is a seed that came from a seven-foot pseudo-cereal grain crop called goosefoot. Quinoa is more of a vegetable than a grain since its closest relatives are spinach and Swiss chard.
In their unprocessed state, the Quinoa seeds are quite inedible because they are coated with very bitter saponins (glucoside extracts from plants). These seeds are commercially processed to remove this bitter coating.
