5 Reasons to Embrace GoGo Quinoa

There are a million reasons to include quinoa in your diet, here are 5 that should convince you:

1. It’s the Best Friend of Celiacs and Gluten Intolerants

In addition to gluten-free properties, quinoa is a great substitute for any wheat product. Did you know that quinoa meets more easily the iron, vitamin B, calcium, protein and fibre needs of people with celiac disease compared to rice? Note that not all over-the-counter quinoa brands meet gluten-free certifications. GoGo Quinoa offers the most complete line of gluten-free grains in North America. Do not hesitate to refer to the right logos to make your grocery shopping a little easier!

2. It Contains Twice as Much Protein as Rice

Concretely, what does it mean? One cup of quinoa contains about eight grams of protein - the equivalent of an egg. You should know that quinoa is one of the few grains that contains all nine essential amino acids. Basically, amino acids are the foundation of a protein. This explains why quinoa is categorized as a complete protein - on an equal basis with animal-based protein.

3. It’s Considered a Superfood

Simple definition of superfoods: food that offers nutritional properties above the norm. Kale, spinach, salmon are, for example, superfoods. Quinoa was also recognized as a superfood, thanks to its high content in vitamins and minerals such as riboflavin, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, zinc. Quinoa is therefore part of this great family!

4. It’s an Excellent Source of Fibre

Consuming fibre daily can be a real challenge. Say hello to quinoa! The latter is known for its high fibre content - 5 grams of fibre per cup of cooked quinoa. The real deal! And the most magical thing about it is that quinoa is low in calories. How is it possible? Simply because quinoa is made from insoluble fibre. You should know that our metabolism does not digest this type of fibre. In other words, since our body cannot digest it, it cannot be transformed into calories in our organism.

5. It’s Certified Aliments du Québec bio

Again, not all quinoa brands meet organic certifications. GoGo Quinoa is proud to offer Aliments préparés au Québec bio products. To display this prestigious logo on its packaging, the food in question must first meet the criteria of Aliments préparés au Québec, then it must be validated by the CARTV in order to obtain the organic certification. A reliable process that assures consumers that the local product chosen meets both market standards and their values.
