About Quinoa flour
Quinoa flour is a nutrient-rich, gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat flours, made from finely ground quinoa seeds. Quinoa, an ancient grain originating from South America, has been a dietary staple in Andean cuisine for thousands of years. This flour is packed with essential nutrients, including protein, fiber, magnesium, iron, and potassium, making it a versatile choice for health-conscious cooking and baking. Its unique composition includes all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete plant-based protein source ideal for vegans and vegetarians. Quinoa flour has a slightly nutty flavor, making it an excellent choice for bread, pancakes, cookies, or gluten-free pasta. It is low on the glycemic index, supporting balanced blood sugar levels. While highly nutritious, its higher fat content may reduce shelf life compared to other flours, and care should be taken with recipes requiring a finer texture.
