Food for the day: Quinoa a super food that originates from South America. Pronounced ‘keen-wa’ this highly nutritious grain is slowly getting introduced to Australian diets.

It’s gluten free, low GI (low glycaemic index means it’s slowly digested and helps keep blood sugar levels steady throughout the day, providing lasting energy to the body), high in essential vitamins and minerals including: iron, calcium, B vitamins (folate), potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper and fibre.

Quinoa is also unique because it’s the highest protein grain available (16-20% protein) and contains many essential animo acids (protein chains), including cystine, lysine & methionine not found in other grains. Buy some Quinoa today, it’s one of my favourite ‘super foods!’

That’s all from me today,

Love your life 🙂
