About Herbed quinoa

Herbed Quinoa is a flavorful and nutrient-packed dish rooted in health-conscious cuisine, often inspired by Mediterranean or South American flavors. It features fluffy quinoa, a protein-rich ancient grain, tossed with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or basil, along with zesty additions like lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and sometimes chopped vegetables for added texture and nutrients. Quinoa is naturally gluten-free and provides essential amino acids, fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while the herbs contribute vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbed Quinoa is versatile and ideal as a side dish or a light vegan main course. While overall very wholesome, the calorie count can increase with excessive oil or add-ins, so portion control is key. Light, refreshing, and packed with vitality, this dish is a staple for clean eating and balanced diets.
