Wholesale Royal Quinoa Flour 500g - BIO

Royal quinoa flour is made from grinding quinoa grains, a small, round seed approximately 3 millimeters in diameter. This specific variety, known as royal quinoa, is cultivated exclusively in Bolivia, at over 3,800 meters above sea level, in areas near the Salar de Uyuni. Botanically, quinoa belongs to the species Chenopodium quinoa, an herbaceous plant native to the Andes. Although it is not a cereal in the strict sense, it is cooked and used as such, which is why it is classified as a pseudocereal. Its nutritional profile has been recognized by important institutions such as NASA and the FAO, due to its high nutritional value. One of its most notable characteristics is that it contains all the essential amino acids, including lysine, a nutrient often lacking in traditional cereals. It is also rich in antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol, as well as flavonoids with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer, and antidepressant properties. Its soluble fiber content helps reduce blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol, and create a greater feeling of satiety, which aids in appetite control. Additionally, it is an excellent source of high-quality proteins and provides minerals such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron, essential for the proper functioning of the body. Another important aspect is that royal quinoa flour is gluten-free, making it a safe and healthy option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
