藜麦很小,呈珠状,略带苦味,质地坚硬。 印加人一直都知道它,几千年来,当他们在安第斯山脉的高处种植它时,他们将它视为“母粮”。
与小麦或大米不同,藜麦是一种完整的蛋白质——含有所有八种必需氨基酸。 它已被联合国认可为具有健康益处的超级作物:富含膳食纤维、磷、镁和铁。 它也不含麸质,易于消化。 事实表明,它已接近完美的成分。
如何享受:
- 用藜麦代替米饭。
- 在煮熟的藜麦中加入坚果和水果,作为早餐粥。
- 藜麦粉可以添加到饼干或松饼食谱中。
Quinoa is tiny, bead-shaped, with a slightly bitter flavour and firm texture. The Incas have known it all along, for thousands of years regarding it as the 'mother grain' as they grew it high up in the Andes.
Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa is a complete protein - containing all eight of the essential amino acids. It has been recognised by the United Nations as a super crop for its health benefits: packed with dietary fibre, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. It is also gluten-free and easy to digest. The facts suggest it is close to a perfect ingredient as you can get.
How to Enjoy:
Serve quinoa instead of rice.
Add nuts and fruits to cooked quinoa and serve as breakfast porridge.
Ground quinoa flour can be added to cookie or muffin recipes.
