Today I bring you a simple salad recipe, perfect for the high temperatures that we have begun to endure with the arrival of summer. In this case it is a quinoa salad, a seed with great benefits for the body. Quinoa, despite being a seed, can be used as a cereal. East super food contains a high percentage of fiber, it also gives us:
- potassium
- magnesium
- match
- football
- iron
- zinc
One of the benefits of quinoa is, as we have mentioned, that it can be used in the kitchen as a cereal, but as it does not contain gluten, it is perfect for people with celiac disease. In addition, it contains a very low glycemic index, ideal for people suffering from diabetes. This food also helps the body to control cholesterol levels. And its high fiber content helps prevent constipation.
Therefore, quinoa is perfect for any type of diet. Whether it is because you want to follow a weight loss diet, because you are a vegetarian, because you practice sports or because you simply want to eat better, quinoa is the perfect food. In addition, it can be used in hundreds of recipes, as an accompaniment to meat or fish, in soups or as we are going to cook it today, in a salad.
