Description
Flour is the main ingredient in bread and many other foods which is a staple food in many countries worldwide and occupies a leading position in the Greek diet.
Rising demand for gluten free foods, as well as demand for low-glycemic index foods or high-fiber foods, is one reason the market has responded. Another great reason is the strong spread of nutritional models with few carbs. And finally, but no less important reason, is the gastronomic side: these “other” flours, add flavor to the various dishes, give a different texture, endow them with a different aroma, in breads, cakes, crepes, pancakes, tarts, without gluten, with few carbs or just for a different taste.
Organic quinoa flour does not contain gluten, it is ideal for any use such as bread, pasta, cakes, cookies as it has a higher fat content than wheat flour.
Quinoa flour has a light walnut flavor and is suitable for both sweet and savory recipes.
Organic quinoa flour is ideal for vegetarians who replace eating red meat with quinoa, without any effect on their body. Also for people allergic to cow’s milk and patients with celiac disease (people who can not consume foods with gluten, ie foods with barley, oats, wheat and rye).
Its nutritional value is very high and for this reason in recent years quinoa is sought after all over the world. It is a digestible food and scientific studies have shown that it helps in the perfusion of the brain, concentration and mental performance. It helps the heart, migraines and is also antioxidant. It is ideal for those who are gluten intolerant and belongs to the category of macrobiotic foods.
It is highly regarded for its nutritional value and the United Nations has ranked Quinoa as a superfood for its high protein content (13%). Unlike rice or wheat, which is low in lysine, quinoa contains a balanced content of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete diet. This means that we need less quinoa protein than wheat protein for our needs. Quinoa also contains Omega 3 fats, which benefit the heart. It is also a good source of phosphorus and has a lot of magnesium and iron.
Although in practice it is a seed, quinoa is considered a complete cereal and a good source of fiber.
