Quinoa has been called "the gold of the Incas", and for good reason. Quinoa has immense nutritional benefit. Here are some of the benefits of quinoa, and why you should eat more of it. Primarily they are Complete Proteins. Not only is Quinoa high in protein, but it's high in complete protein. Complete protein is unlike regular protein because it has all nine of the essential amino acids. This makes it a fantastic choice for vegetarians and vegans who are concerned about proper protein intake. It improves cardiovascular health tremendously. Quinoa can improve cardiovascular health because it's rich in magnesium, a mineral that's been proven to relax blood vessels. People with low levels of magnesium have a higher chance of increased hypertension, heart arrhythmia's, and heart disease. Quinoa can help prevent these potential health problems by offering proper amounts of magnesium. Quinoa, The Unexplored Super food shows the best recipes that you can use to improve your life today.

Are superfoods just a marketing device, another label meant to attract the eye? Or do superfoods tell us a deeper story about how food and health relate in a global marketplace full of anonymous commodities? In the past decade, superfoods have taken US and European grocery stores by storm. Novel commodities like quinoa and moringa, along with familiar products such as almonds and raw milk, are now called superfoods, promising to promote health and increase our energy. While consumers may find the magic of superfoods attractive, the international development sector now envisions superfoods acting as cures to political and economic problems like poverty and malnutrition. Critical Approaches to Superfoods examines the politics and culture of superfoods. It demonstrates how studying superfoods can reveal shifting concepts of nutritional authority, the complexities of intellectual property and bioprospecting, the role marketing agencies play in the agro-industrial complex, and more. The multidisciplinary contributors draw their examples from settings as diverse as South India, Peru, and California to engage with foodstuffs that include quinoa, almonds, fish meal, Rooibos Tea, kale and açaí.
