If you love to eat rice but you are already overweight and at-risk to have diabetes, The Herbalist of Asia Premium White Quinoa can be a better choice especially that it is a homegrown 100% organic. White Quinoa is recently creating a buzz among the health and figure conscious people. It’s a modern-day superfood and has gained a reputation as a healthier rice and pasta substitute.
But White Quinoa consumption is not really new. In fact, it is considered as an ancient grain. It was the staple food among the people in the Andes for thousands of years. It was the Incas who first called it “the mother of all grains.” White Quinoa is an age-old harvest and had been cultivated and eaten long before the Europeans colonized South America. So, White Quinoa consumption is already a past trend we’re keeping in the modern time.
White Quinoa has a slight nutty flavor but since it has a mild taste, it is perfect for any meal. This healthy staple is a protein-rich whole grain. A cup of quinoa will already provide 8 grams of protein while 1 cup of the usual white rice just contains 4.3 grams of protein. Whole grains are packed with nutrients including protein, fiber, B vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals such as iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium. A diet rich in whole grains has been shown to reduce the risk of obesity. In one cup, it contains 5 grams more fiber than in the same amount of white rice. Due to this higher quantity of fiber, quinoa gives a fuller feeling so you will not binge-eat in one meal. This is a great news for those who are watching their weight. And for those who are bothered with their sugar levels, White Quinoa is considered as low glycemic index food. Meaning, it can be diabetic-friendly. According to health experts, eating foods with a lower glycemic index means they will cause a slower and lower rise in blood sugar.
