Quinoa was considered sacred among ancient civilizations. This tiny seed, rich in fiber and minerals, is distinguished as one of the best sources of high-quality plant protein and essential amino acids. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified quinoa as a unique food due to its very high nutritional value, capable of significantly replacing proteins of animal origin, as it contains a balance of proteins and nutrients necessary for the human body. The grains used to make this flour have been sprouted, dried and milled at low temperatures (40 - 42°C) to maintain the enzymes, vitamins and minerals. As such, SaludViva Sprouted Quinoa Flour is considered a raw product. Sprouting is a natural process to preserve the many wonders of new life, increasing the bioavailability of key nutrients in the whole grain and simplifying their absorption by the body for energy. Easily adapts to a wide range of baking recipes. SaludViva Organic Sprouted Quinoa Flour offers an exciting new way to enjoy the many unique healthy benefits of this ancient grain. Especially useful in vegan and gluten-free baking, this flour can be incorporated into a variety of recipes to add flavor and texture. SaludViva sprouted quinoa flour creates juicy, fluffy baked goods with a delicate crumb, from desserts to muffins or breads (with the exception of yeast breads). For best results, we recommend a substitution of 10%-20% of the total flour in your recipe. May contain traces of nuts and sesame. ES-ECO-020-CV
