It was known as the &#8220;gold of the incas&#8221; because they believed it could boost up the stamina of their warriors.<\/p>\n<h2>Quinoa as a Superfood<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s hardly surprising because quinoa contains double the protein of brown rice along with greater fiber content and a lower glycemic load. Not only is quinoa high in protein but it contains all essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein that cannot be made in the body and have to be obtained from food.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>That is one of the reasons why quinoa is so good to include on a <strong><a title=\"Definitive Detox Diet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thedetoxspecialist.com\/Definitive_Detox_Diet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detox diet <\/a><\/strong>when you are avoiding animal protein. Amino acids are used by the<strong> <a title=\"How a liver detox can restore your health\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/how-liver-detox-diet-can-resore-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">liver detox<\/a><\/strong> system.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to protein quinoa contains a host of other health boosting nutrients including magnesium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper &amp; Vitamin B2. All of which are needed in the detox process.<\/p>\n<p>Quinoa is also high in natural phytochemicals which have antioxidant properties that are needed for detox and help prevent chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>Bolivian farmer <a title=\"quinoa-mushrooms-and-coca-kept-me-alive-for-123-years\" href=\"http:\/\/couriermail.com.au\/lifestyle\/health-fitness\/quinoa-mushrooms-and-coca-kept-me-alive-for-123-years8217\/story-fnihoyeo-1226700281395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carmelo Flores<\/a>, who turned 123 a month ago, attributes his longevity to the traditional Andean diet of fish, quinoa and beans. No wonder it is getting a reputation as a superfood!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Donna Gates Body Ecology\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/DonnaGates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donna Gates of Body Ecology<\/a><\/strong> recommends quinoa because it is easy to digest and does not feed bacterial or fungal infections in your body like <strong><a title=\"What you need to know about intetinal candida yeast\" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/colon-detox\/what-you-need-to-know-about-intestinal-candida-yeast-overgrowth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">candida<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Quinoa acts as a prebiotic that feeds the microflora (good bacteria) in your intestines.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I wrote a post about <strong><a title=\"Add Coconut Kefir to your Detox Plan \" href=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/detox\/add-coconut-kefir-to-your-detox-plan-for-powerful-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coconut Kefir<\/a><\/strong>, another superfood that also helps to put the good bacteria in your gut.<\/p>\n<p>The outer coating of the quinoa seeds contain saponins, a natural defense of the plant that protects it from insect and fungal attacks, which give it a bitter taste. Most quinoa sold commercially in North America has been processed by washing to remove this coating.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure if they have been processed rinsing prior to cooking also removes the bitter taste. I always rinse mine first anyway and it is light, nutty and delicious. As well as the familiar white Quinoa there are red and black varieties the same as rice.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"560\" height=\"315\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OhSlWbx36oY?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"560\" height=\"315\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OhSlWbx36oY?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Quinoa is easy to prepare, cooks faster than many other grains and is incredibly versatile.
