Organic Quinoa is a pseudocereal of Andean origin mainly used in the same manner as wheat and rice. Quinoa is gaining popularity due to its superior nutritional quality compared to other grains and for not having gluten. Quinoa is an alternative to grains in a gluten-free diet and can be used by those who suffer from celiac disease.
Quinoa has a relatively high protein, unsaturated fat and mineral content and contains beneficial dietary fiber largely comprising polysaccharides. The polysaccharides in quinoa appear to have a protective effect on the gastrointestinal system making it doubly beneficial for those with celiac disease and related issues.
