Quinoa contains essential amino acids that converts it in a "complete protein". Quinoa was first domesticated by Andean tribes around 3000 years ago. Revered for its nutritional value, the Incas refered to it as "the mother of all grains," and it is indeed a nutritional powerhouse. In fact, it is one of the very few plant-based sources containing high amounts of protein and all of the essential amino acids that the body needs. Since it contains all of the essential amino acids, it is considered a "complete protein." Not only does it a high-quality of protein compared to other plant-based sources, but it also has an essential amino acid balance that is rare in food form. Although quinoa is often mistakenly refered to as a grain, it is actually a pseudocereal because it is neither a member of the grass family nor a true cereal. Quinoa Sprouts are extremely high in B Vitamins like B6 and B12, and contain abundant amounts of iron, calcium, fiber, and phosphorus. Quinoa is slowly becoming more prominent in the western marketplace, so luckily we can begin to appreciate this psedocereal for all of its nutritional value as well as its biodiversity.

The average grain protein is 16%, but quinoa can contain up to 23%, more, that is double than any other cereal.Additionally the proteins in quinoa are close to the recommended rate dictated by the FAO for human nutrition. Quinoa proteins have a high degree of amino acid, lysine, methionineand cystine. The seeds contain between 58 and 68% starch and 5% sugar,although the starch grains are quite small, they contain about 20% amylose and form gels from 55 to 65 ° C. The fat content is between 4 and 9%, of which half contains linoleic acid, essential for the human diet. It Contains high levels of calcium and phosphorus. The concentrated nutrients from the leaves have a low rate of nitrate and oxalate, which are considered harmful elements in nutrition.
