Ways to Prepare Quinoa



Today's society is suffering from obesity-related diseases. In fact in the US, cardiovascular disease is theA�NUMBER 1 killer, now that's a scary statistic. Heart disease is directly linked to the clogging up of your respective arteries from the cholesterol, saturated and lethal trans fats your body absorbs when eating high fat and high cholesterol diets. Studies have discovered that by reducing Cholesterol you can radically decrease the risk of heart problems. In fact there isn't any documented cases of strokes in people whose blood choleseterol levels are as low as those who consume a non-meat eating diet by way of example, that is a fairly compelling statistic.

I love serving quinoa with my personal favorite meat- chicken, both the ingredients taste fantastic together. One simple recipe that I found will be the quinoa chicken with garlic. To make this recipe you'll need: 1 cup uncooked quinoa, 2 cups chicken broth, 20 leaves fresh basil (chopped), 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts (cubed), 4 tablespoons essential olive oil, 1 onion (diced), 1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced), 1 green bell pepper (seeded and diced), 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic and salt and pepper to taste.

Unlike most grains, quinoa includes a complete protein. With other grains it is usually necessary to use legumes to create a complete protein. It is loaded with eight essential amino (fatty) acids and it is a good source of vitamin E and several of the B vitamins. This makes it especially good as a grain substitute in gluten free diets since several people get the majority of their B vitamins from baked goods. consigue quinoa contains between14% and 18% protein, with characteristics similar to milk protein. Quinoa can be another source of calcium and iron.

Not only that, but the protein content in quinoa is known as complete, because all eight in the essential amino acids are present. This is unusual for plant based samples of protine. Of particular note is always that quinoa is a good source of lysine. Lysine is an important amino acid since it plays a vital role in cellular repair. This makes quinoa a fantastic addition for your diet an advanced vegetarian.

Comfort food doesn't have to be fatty. Let's get real about unusual root vegetables. Unless you're a hard-core foodie, about to catch likely to center a full side dish around similar to parsnips or celeraic. The best way to bring these rich, "offstage" root vegetables is always to integrate all of them with what you know and love.
