Quinoa

Other names: Chenopodium Quinoa, Chilean Merlin

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Quinoa, also known as Chenopodium Quinoa or Chilean Merlin, is a plant native to South America, now cultivated worldwide for its outstanding nutritional values. At first glance it resembles a cereal, but technically it belongs to the legume group. Its seeds are very high in protein, fibre and are one of the few plant sources that contain all the essential amino acids. Another great benefit is that quinoa is gluten-free, making it an ideal choice for people suffering from celiac disease.

Quinoa is used to make many food products. It is most commonly found in the form of whole seeds, which, when cooked, are used as a side dish or as part of a variety of dishes, from salads to wok dishes to sweet dishes. It can replace rice or bulgur, for example. However, quinoa is also processed into flour, which is suitable for baking and making pasta, as well as for making gluten-free bread and other baked goods. In addition, quinoa is used in the cosmetics industry, especially in the production of skin regenerating and hair care products. Its extract is also included in some dietary supplements.
