No matter your intention is, let’s set the proper pronunciation from the outset: Eager-wah or ke-NO-ah are correct methods of pronouncing this word.

Quinoa, often dubbed as a “superfood” or a “supergrain,” has quickly become one of the world’s hottest health meals. If that seems a bit vague, let me clarify further – Quinoa (keen-wah?) is actually an annual flowering plant belonging to the amaranth family that’s grown for its edible seeds; thus when discussing its advantages we generally refer to their edible properties; not so with other grains like oatmeal which often only benefit their seeds directly.

Subscribetiennent The seeds are gluten-free. When cooked, quinoa resembles wheat or rice in its composition and provides an abundant supply of proteins (incorporating all nine essential amino acids). Furthermore, its rich source of fiber and minerals makes quinoa an ideal food choice.

Even so, different varieties of quinoa exist – these being:

Quinoa or white quinoa, is one of the more prevalent varieties available at stores; sometimes referred to as ivory quinoa.

Crimson quinoa retains more of its unique shape (higher than white quinoa) after cooking, making it suitable for cold salads or any recipe in which one grain stands out as particularly striking.

Black quinoa boasts sweeter and earthier notes than its white counterpart, maintaining its rich black hue even after cooking.

Quinoa flakes, produced through steam rolling entire grain kernels, make an easy and quick breakfast option.

Quinoa flour, made of flour made from quinoa seeds, looks very much like any other kind of flour.

Well, what’s so big a deal about it?
