Why Quinoa?

Packing a punch of vitamins, minerals, and a high concentration of protein and fiber, quinoa is known as one of the most powerful superfoods. Here at Andean Dream, we are using this nutritious seed to make nutrient-dense and clean products that not only taste good, but are good for you too. We love quinoa for a multitude of reasons, primarily for its numerous health benefits:

• Quinoa is the one of the few plant foods that is considered a complete protein, as it contains all 9 essential amino acids for the human body: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.

• Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, perfect for those with Celiac's disease or gluten-intolerances.

• Quinoa contains a multitude of nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins.

• Quinoa is very high in fiber, has a low glycemic index, and is easy to incorporate into your diet, especially with Andean Dream quinoa products! 

We hope you enjoy our quinoa products!
