Quinoa With Tomato Chutney
I'm back with one more addition to my Ekadashi menu... Quinoa
with tomato chutney is my
new invention !! I guess :) !!
Most of them dont know about Quinoa, Me too... I came to know
about it from one of my
Bengoli friend as she used to cook it for Ekadashi. Just started
searching about it, Its is
very easy to cook an tasty too.. The cooking time and the
quantity of water to be added
varies for Quinoa.
Quinoa is a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium) grown as a crop
primarily for its edible
seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal as it is
not a grass. Its leaves are also
eaten as a leaf vegetable. Most commonly considered a grain,
quinoa is actually a relative of
leafy green vegetables like spinach and Swiss chard.
The grains are small yellow flattened spheres, approximately 1.5
to 2 mm in diameter.
When cooked, the germ coils into a small "tail" that lends a
pleasant crunch. The leaves of
the quinoa plant can also be eaten.
Health Benifits of Quinoa,
Not only is quinoa high in protein, but the protein it supplies
is complete protein, meaning
that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Not only is
quinoa's amino acid profile well
balanced, making it a good choice for vegans concerned about
adequate protein intake, but
quinoa is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine,
which is essential for tissue
growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a
host of other health-building
nutrients. Because quinoa is a very good source of manganese as
well as a good source of
magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorous, this "grain" may be
especially valuable for
persons with migraine headaches, diabetes and
atherosclerosis.
There are about 1480 calories in one pound of quinoa flour or
seeds. The composition of the
flour is approximately: 55.3% carbohydrates, 13.1% protein, 5.8%
fat, 13.6% fiber, 9.3%
water, and 2.9% minerals.
I'm so excited to send my this Healthy recipe toSuganya's -
Tasty Palettes, as she as stated

daily basis.. Not only on Ekadashi :) ..!!
