"Quinoa", this magical stuff, has been given to you Amway several times before, and it is deeply loved by Cantonese hemp. Quinoa is probably the most popular staple food in the healthy eating circle, pregnant hemp circle, and complementary food circle.

Quinoa, as a plant, contains complete protein only available in the animal kingdom, which is very rare. The protein content of quinoa is 16% on average (up to 22%). Quinoa contains all 9 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize (including 1 essential amino acid for infants and young children), especially the general The lack of lysine in grains is high (lysine is necessary for the growth and repair of human tissues). The quality and content of quinoa protein are comparable to skimmed milk powder and meat. It is the best choice for vegetarians and a good substitute for grains such as rice.

If you eat other grains, you always feel that you are eating low-quality rice. Quinoa, a coarse grain, will give you a completely different taste and taste very interesting. This fragrant whole grain is more interesting and healthier than eating refined white rice noodles. For the Chinese, this kind of healthy whole grains can't replace the sweet and soft white rice, but you must give it a try to your children. He will like this interesting staple food.

Quinoa can be eaten in many ways, including salad, porridge, or even baking. Grapefruit moms used to either cook the porridge directly; or cook them in clean water for 15 minutes and refrigerate them in the refrigerator. You can add a spoonful of them to the small grapefruit as supplementary food. You can also add a spoonful when you drink yogurt, and also when you eat salads. A spoonful can be stored in the refrigerator for a week, and the taste is always the same, which is completely different from the hard overnight white rice the next day. The recipe of the soup today was seen on the back of the quinoa package. I tried it and it was really delicious.

1. After soaking the quinoa in water for half an hour, repeat elutriation several times to ensure that the saponins that may remain are thoroughly washed away to avoid a slight astringency.
Grapefruit mom talks:
The "Peruvian Tricolor Quinoa" used by Yuzu Ma this time. Before, my mother asked me to recommend which quinoa is good. I actually bought quinoa from many stores. I bought quinoa grown in China, organic quinoa in Bolivia, and white, red and black quinoa in Peru. . In terms of good quality, it is Peruvian quinoa, which is twice as large as domestic quinoa. Of course the price is higher. You can buy it on the omnipotent network.

2. Wash the tomatoes and cut into chunks. Pour a small amount of oil in a hot pan and fry the tomatoes.

3. After sautéing for a minute, add the water just over the tomatoes and cook with the soaked quinoa.

4. After the high heat is boiled, turn to medium and low heat and cook for 15 minutes. Add the washed small greens and cook for another minute on high heat.

Grapefruit mom talks:
After the tomatoes and quinoa are cooked, if you add some noodles and cook them together, it will taste great! I will definitely try it next time.

5. Finally, add some salt to taste and it can be served. Babies who have never eaten salt can not add it, it is delicious~~~

Tips:
1. Quinoa is gluten-free and is the favorite of gluten allergic babies.
2. Quinoa contains all 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot synthesize by itself! This is an incredible thing. The body's absorption of protein is actually done through amino acids. A balance of amino acids and an adequate supply are the basic prerequisites for human health. The lack of any kind of amino acid supply will affect the immune system and other normal functions, make people in a sub-healthy state, and become more vulnerable to diseases and immunity. reduce. Regular consumption of quinoa can balance the supply of amino acids in the body and improve the body's immunity.
