Quinoa Flour – Organic

Quinoa flour

Quinoa flour is a healthier substitute for other baking flours and considered one of the most nutritious grain flours available today. Pronounced keen-wah, or ke-NO-ah, this nutritional powerhouse is considered a pseudo-seed because you cook it just like a grain. The Incas called quinoa the “mother of all grains,” and even had spiritual connections to them and they had celebrations during the planting and harvest seasons. Quinoa flour is creating by grinding quinoa seeds into an ultra-fine powder.

Quinoa is gluten-free, full of protein, includes all nine essential amino acids, high in fiber content, rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins B, C and E. Quinoa also is known to boost brain function because the high iron content releases more oxygen to the brain and throughout the entire body. Mothers to be and those who nurse their babies are encouraged to add quinoa to their diets because of the super-rich content of iron, B vitamins, and calcium. This amazing superfood is also an anti-inflammatory assisting those with arthritis, allergies, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.

Quinoa flour, when substituted for other flour, adds a one of a kind earthy, hearty, and nutty flavor to baked goods and recipes. Substitute for half of the all-purpose flour in recipes, or totally replace all-purpose flour in cakes, cookies, muffins, bread, and all baked goods. It is also an ideal selection for a vegan or vegetarian diet. As the world is living a more healthful lifestyle, cooks and health enthusiasts are experimenting with quinoa flour and adding it to crackers, pizza dough, waffles, pancakes, tortilla shells, casseroles, stuffing, stews and as a thickener for gravies, rue and even as a replacement for bread crumbs.
