Health Benefits of Toasted Quinoa

Organic toasted quinoa is loaded with all the same nutrients as the regular quinoa you already know and love. As a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, toasted quinoa is an excellent source of plant-based protein for vegans and vegetarians. It provides 7 grams of protein per serving. It’s also a plentiful source of dietary fiber to support digestive health because it packs in 3 grams of fiber per serving. If you’re feeling fatigued, toasted quinoa may improve your energy levels because it delivers over 25% of the daily recommended value for iron. It also provides other minerals such as calcium, phosphorous and magnesium, not to mention a bountiful source of antioxidants, too! As you can see, toasted quinoa really is a superfood!
