Benefits of Quinoa

Health is a very important issue and we must always remember to take care of ourselves and make healthy choices. One such decision is to include quinoa in your diet. Quinoa is a small, healthy seed that’s packed with nutrients that help you stay healthy. There are many benefits to eating quinoa, and here are 5 great reasons why you should include it in your diet.

First, quinoa is a good source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids that the body needs to function. It’s also a good source of unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for a healthy heart.

Second, quinoa can help control blood sugar levels. It contains complex carbohydrates that break down slowly, resulting in constant energy levels. Quinoa is also high in fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestion.

Third, quinoa is a good source of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals, which can damage cells and increase the risk of serious diseases like cancer.

Fourth, quinoa is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, vitamin E and B vitamins. These nutrients help the body produce energy, repair cells, and boost the immune system.

Fifth, quinoa is a highly nutritious food that not only gives you strength and energy, but also improves your well-being and quality of life.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for the salad:

  • 100 g quinoa red, white or mixed
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 parsnip
  • 1 parsley root
  • 2 fresh beets
  • ½ tsp. cumin*
  • Pomegranate seeds from a pomegranate

  • 4 tbsp. pistachios* or almonds, cashews, hazelnuts…
  • 1 small Bunch of mint or parsley
  • kosher salt*
  • Black pepper* from the mill

for the dressing:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Place the quinoa in a sieve, rinse well under cold water and cook according to package directions. After cooking, fluff up with a fork.
  • Peel and dice the carrots, parsnip, parsley root and beets. Cut the beets into slightly smaller cubes so that when everything bakes together in the oven, it is ready at the same time.
  • Drizzle the vegetables (mix the beets separately) with olive oil in a bowl and mix well with the cumin, salt and pepper. (if you like you can add dried thyme, rosemary or oregano)
  • Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet (separate the beetroot a little) and roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn once halfway through. When the edges of the vegetables start to caramelize and the vegetables are soft but still al dente, they are done. Set aside to cool.
  • In the meantime, you can knock the seeds out of the pomegranate.
  • Peel the tangerines and cut into small pieces.
  • Core the apple and cut into small cubes without peeling. Mix in a few squirts of lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
  • Roughly chop the pistachios and lightly toast in a pan without adding fat.
  • Peel and finely dice the red onion.
  • Clean lamb’s lettuce or rocket, wash carefully and spin dry.

Prepare the dressing:

  • For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, ground turmeric, ground sumac, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and agave nectar. Season with salt and pepper. Put aside.

Arranging and serving:

  • To serve, mix the quinoa with the roasted vegetables, fruit, and lettuce. Fold in the dressing and serve sprinkled with the roasted pistachios and chopped mint.
