Quinoa Flour

Quinoa Flour is a gluten-free flour made from ground quinoa seeds, used in baking and cooking where a nutty, slightly earthy flavor and good texture are desired. It appears in South American cuisines and has become popular worldwide as an alternative to wheat-based flours. Nutrition-wise, Quinoa Flour is notable for its relatively high plant protein content at 14.1g per 100g and provides a moderate amount of fiber (7g) along with beneficial minerals such as magnesium and manganese; its fat profile includes some unsaturated fats rather than high saturated fat. From a health perspective, Quinoa Flour offers a complete amino acid profile compared with many other plant flours, making it a useful option for boosting protein quality in baked goods and gluten-free recipes, while also contributing fiber and minerals to the diet.
