    8 Health Benefits of Quinoa
muffintop-less:

8 Health Benefits of Quinoa:
1. High quality protein with the nine essential amino acids, the protein balance is similar to milk. At 16.2 to 20 percent protein, it has is more protein than rice (7.5 percent), millet (9.9 percent) or wheat (14 percent).
2. Great source of riboflavin. Riboflavin has been shown to help reduce the frequency of attacks in migraine sufferers by improving the energy metabolism within the brain and muscle cells.
3. Inca warriors had more stamina and quicker recovery time by eating these quinoa seeds, making it a truly ancient powerfood.
4. Antiseptic. The saponins from quinoa are used to promote healing of skin injuries in South America.
5. Not fattening! Only 172 calories per 1/4 cup dry (24 of the calories from protein and only 12 from sugars, the rest are complex carbohydrates, fiber and healthy fats).
6. Gluten-free. Since it is not not related to wheat, or even a grain, it is gluten-free.
7. Alkaline-forming. Although it is not strongly alkaline-forming, it is comparable to wild rice, amaranth, and sprouted grains.

    Ellen and Portia on the Rachael Ray Show

    “Honestly, I would eat cardboard rather than going back to eating animals” - Ellen Degeneres

    Never thought I’d see this conversation happen on the freaking Rachael Ray show! It’s always great to see veganism get some mainstream attention. And I’ll bet everyone in the audience received a free copy of the vegan cookbook! Awesome.

    THIS IS JUST AMAZINGLY AMAZING.
