Qui-noa
Chenopodium quinoa; /ˈkiːn.wɑː, kiˈnoʊ.ə/, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa
An annual dicotyledonous pseudocereal.
The plant originates from Latin America, where, according to historical records, it was cultivated as early as 3000-5000 BC.
In fact, the term “quinoa” in the Inca language translates to “mother of all grains,” and not by chance, as the ancient people of the Andes considered it particularly nutritious and invigorating.
Aristi Quinoa
The Ideal Food
Among the advantages of quinoa are its good taste, the fact that it is gluten-free, and as flour, it is easy to mix with other types of flour (bran or wheat). It is also relatively easy to store and preserve for a long time without adding preservatives. Meta-analyses of clinical studies have shown that quinoa consumption promotes a balanced lipid profile, improves insulin levels, enhances the response to oxidative stress, and contributes to achieving a healthy body weight.
High Protein Content
Compared to other plant foods, quinoa generally has a higher protein concentration than most grains.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Complete Protein
It contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize and must obtain from food. It surpasses the majority of plant foods, as few of them are complete proteins, requiring their combined consumption to meet daily essential amino acid requirements.
Low Glycemic Index
Quinoa has a low glycemic index, allowing it to be freely consumed by people with type 1, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes.
Economic Benefit
The increased protein concentration and the fact that the product “gains” weight during cooking, increasing the final volume of the meal, leads to an economic benefit for the consumer.
Easy to Cook
Quinoa requires minimal cooking time and can be used in a wide range of recipes. As a result, incorporating it into your daily diet is not difficult, as it is quite similar to many products that are traditionally consumed (couscous, rice, etc.).

For patients with heart problems

Ideal for endurance and long-distance athletes as it is easily digestible and aids in easy digestion, providing long-lasting energy.
