White Quinoa is a good source of a number of important nutrients, including folate, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It's also rich in fiber and protein, nutrients that play an important role in helping you feel full. Quinoa can be incorporated into your diet in a variety of ways, from being prepared as a breakfast porridge to being an addition to salads or prepared like a pilaf. Quinoa can also be used to thicken up soups or stews, and quinoa flour can be used in gluten-free baking.
