Quinoa is not a grain but a pseudo-cereal, botanically related to spinach and amaranth family. That is why one can consume Quinoa during fasting/ upvaas.
Quinoa (pronounced as KEEN-wah) dates back 7000 year old, it is one of the primitive crops known to mankind. That's why it is also referred as an ancient grain.
2013 was declared as the International Year of Quinoa by the United Nations General Assembly in recognition of ancestral practices of the Andean people, who have managed to preserve quinoa in its natural state as food for present and future generations.
Quinoa is well known as a super-food, due to its remarkable nutrient profile. It has high amounts of Proteins, fibres and minerals. Quinoa has no gluten, that's why people with celiac disease can easily have it. To know more detailed benefits, scroll below.
Quinoa has complete protein, i.e. it has all the 20 amino acids (building blocks of protein) present. There are 20 types of amino acids, 10 which the body can produce on its own and 10 which the body has to rely on external sources. Few food products on this earth have complete protein profile.
Add water to Quinoa in a bowl, shake it vigorously, if some foam or bubble persists, after it settles, it means that saponin layer is still present in Quinoa. One should then, wash Quinoa multiple times till no foam persists.
Bigger the seed size, less is the cook-time.
