Quinoa - A Gluten Free Diet Alternative
If you are striving to eat healthy, one food that you'll certainly want to give a try is quinoa. It is a great food for anyone, but vegans and vegetarians will especially wish to give it a try. Here I want to share with you a lttle bit about the many benefits of cooking quinoa, and then I want to share considered one of my favorite quinoa recipes with you. This curried red beans and quinoa dish provides four and it is a dish your family is guaranteed to be asking for time and again.
As well as being eaten by our space travellers it is now part of NASA food programme for growing crops in space. As section of this elite group of super foods quinoa are at last having the recognition it deserves. NASA is looking into which foods we've here on the planet will be the best from the viewpoint if how easy it is to grow. They also need every one of the foods inside research programme to be highly nutritious.
My first-time up I decided I would show my daughter the amount I actually enjoyed cooking and that I really could try this (and that I wasn't so 'lame' after all). So I spent an hour or so on the internet finding out about recipes that involved vegetables as being a main dish. What an education. There are so many. I ended up choosing a dish that required Chinese 5-spice, comprarquinoa.com.es mushrooms, a number of stir-fried peppers, Thai chilis, lime, soy sauce and garlic fried in olive oil on a bed of rice stick (don't feel sick, I didn't understand what 'rice stick' was either). I must have spent $25 putting that first meal together mainly because it involved a number of ingredients that had never entered home. The dish was obviously a big hit.
It was the Incas around 500 years ago which were the first visitors to recognise quinoa's nutritional value, considering it to become sacred source of food; they actually worshipped the grain within their culture; and was secondary just to the humble potato. Its protein count is between 12-18%, possesses 9 of the extremely essential amino acids, that happen to be so important for that human body; making quinoa an entire protein source and a great weight-loss food.
Normal salad greens - Instead of using mixed salad greens or regular lettuce for the salads, try exchanging 1 / 2 of the greens for chopped Swiss chard. Or, instead of sauteing spinach to get a vegetable side dish, try sauteing Swiss chard with a few olive or coconut oil and minced garlic. Swiss chard features a remarkable level of vitamin A, nearly all of your recommended daily intake with just single serving, and also almost 700 times the recommended intake of vitamin K, important for bone health. Swiss chard is merely 35 calories per cooked cup, therefore it makes a delicious nutrient dense side dish or addition to soups, salads and stir-fry's without accumulated the calories.
