RED QUINOA, ORGANIC, Bioherba, 200 g
Bioherba’s Organic Red Quinoa is a 100% natural, gluten-free superfood packed with essential nutrients and unique health benefits. This vibrant red variety of quinoa is a highly nutritious seed that belongs to the “pseudo-cereal” family, offering a lighter, fluffier texture and a slightly nuttier taste compared to white quinoa. Red quinoa is rich in plant-based proteins, dietary fiber, and a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
This organic superfood is a complete source of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, including lysine, which is often difficult to obtain through plant-based foods. The distinctive red color of the seeds is due to the presence of betacyanins, which have antioxidant properties and support cardiovascular health and physical endurance. Red quinoa is ideal for salads, soups, side dishes, and desserts, providing a nutritious and delicious addition to any meal.
