Quinoa, cooked
Quinoa, cooked is a small seed originally from the Andean region that is cooked and used like a grain in many cuisines, from salads to pilafs and porridges. It is prized for its slightly nutty flavor and fluffy texture and is commonly used as a gluten-free alternative to rice or couscous. Nutritionally, cooked quinoa is notable for being relatively protein-rich for a plant food, providing about 4.4g of protein per 100g, and it also contributes dietary fiber and minerals such as magnesium and copper. Its fat content contains some beneficial unsaturated fats, including plant omega‑3s. From a health perspective, quinoa is valued for its high-quality amino acid profile and its ability to increase the fiber and micronutrient content of meals compared with refined grains, making it a nutritious choice for balanced plates.
