How to Eat Quinoa: Nutrition, Health, Cooking & Meal Ideas

[@Healthytarian]

Questions are commonly asked about the carbohydrate content in quinoa and whether this is a concern. Here is the answer: Carbohydrates are one of the most misunderstood parts of nutrition. There is a BIG difference between processed/refined carbohydrate rich foods and wholesome/natural carbohydrate-rich foods. There is nothing wrong with the latter, and they should be a part of our regular diet, and are NOT the problem. Carbohydrates ARE our main fuel. This is a biological fact for the human body. Fats and proteins can be converted and used as fuel, but this is not as straightforward and efficient. It is just like using the wrong fuel in our car. Yes a car can run on other fuels, but it is either not as efficient or will lead to a fast or slow breakdown of the "machine". What IS a big problem is that people eat all sorts of "junk" that gets classified as "carbs" and then all carbs are given a bad reputation. Yes, people eat too much bread products, cookies, crackers, pastas, and similar foods, which are a BIG problem for health and weight. But natural, wholesome, carbohydrate-rich foods like grains, beans, and vegetables are NOT the problem. Additionally, most people eat too many oils and all sorts of processed, refined, fast and junk foods made in oils or with oils, which are a huge problem. And people eat too many fats from the wrong sources, and diets too high in protein. These ARE all problems, but not wholesome, natural plant foods, like quinoa. It is also important to understand that it is not the way to optimal health, weight and longevity to see foods as isolated nutrients, or fuss about numbers. To have a healthy relationship with food, we must think of the whole food and its value, not break it down into isolated parts, which distort the food's value. If you have been conditioned to fear carbohydrates, it will be very helpful to either learn some basic biology of the human body, or consult the work of whole-food, leading-edge nutrition leaders like Dr. John McDougall (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4PbgIWjjZKFqLM), Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and the many similar doctors and movements that are helping people come back to what real food and real eating is all about.

[@ioniebonnie7780]

Healthytarian, thanks for the explanation about bad and good carbs. I believe that just as all carbs are given bad names, all glutens are given bad names. The body needs everything to be balanced and I believe good gluten should be consumed for the body or skin will be dry and crusty without it. I think lady's fingers, which is Okra, gives a healthy stain that the body needs. Do you know any more healthy gluten that should be consumed? In everything, there is good and bad; we just have to consume the right ones. I await your response.

[@annumahil]

The problem is the food fads! Whenever we alarm like no carb, no oil, only protein, latest one, ketogenic diet, etc interfere with the normal balanced food triangle. So as here it is said, alarm should be on to processed foods n the said fads. So enjoy a natural balanced, varieties of all available food grains, lentils, pulses, fruits n multi coloured vegetables.

[@Healthytarian]

@lonie As with all things, but especially nutrition, it is about the whole package, not any isolated details. People take things out of context, like gluten, where it is not the gluten that is the big problem, but the food that it is in. Eating whole organic rye or wheat or spelt is not a bad thing, as long as someone does not have Celiac disease. What is bad, not just for gluten but for many other reasons, are all the processed and refined grain foods that also contain gluten. It can be argued that modern wheat in general is a problem, but that aside, the focus should always be on eating the right foods and not isolated this or that compound, which is never the answer to optimal health.

[@Healthytarian]

@Annamma Yes, food fads are definitely a big problem and play a big role in people's obsessions about food and all the different controversies and arguments. And yes, you are correct, the focus should be on eliminating processed foods period, regardless of what they contain or don't contain, rather than focusing and obsessing about any specific nutrient or food compound. Your list of food fad examples is perfect, except for the oil, which is actually a very processed food, regardless of the type of oil, and hence why true whole-food, plant-based diets do not include any oil.

[@lovehonestmen3445]

WE must rinse quinoa many times, better soak it too to get rid of saponin and bitterness but the quinoa flour is NOT RINSED, s I Google quinoa side effects is leaky gut due to not rinsing it . Even rinsed it's not recommended to be eaten everyda Vitamins are mostly lost in boiling unfortunately

[@marwaadelnagaty224]

Thank you for your reply to my email. Its been a long journey - 5 years ill, no one talked to me about my diet. At about 2 years ago i realized i had to take my health into my own hands. I started researching and just as you told me in your email i was led to the plant based diet. I bought the book Healing and Prevention through Nutrition, and what a blessing and joy it has been. Im changing my whole environment and way of eating and caring for myself. Amazingly after 5 months of eating axplant based diet i had my first in normal range blood work, and im feeling better and better every day. Thank you for your wonderful book, website andxnutritional information. Sharon california

[@karentitmus1690]

Hello, and greetings from Nottingham, UK! I've just seen your great video about quinoa, and I loved it!!! I've been eating this yummy seed for six years now and it's a firm favourite. I buy organic tricolore from my brilliant health food shop, and I can easily buy it on line too. I've experimented by cooking it with amaranth, which produced a very interesting 'porridge', and I really enjoy this with organic honey, a few drips of good vanilla extract, some pistachios and a goodly dollop of natural yoghurt, organic - of course! I've just bought some whole cardamon pods and I'll bash up a couple and add to my quinoa ioday to prepare my next batch. Pomegranate seeds with their gorgeous gleaming pinkness and a drizzle of date nectar with some toasted almond flakes are tomorrow's breakfast!!!

[@Healthytarian]

+Karen Titmus Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comment and feedback Karen. And great to hear about your meal approach to quinoa and whole, plant foods! To your best health :)

[@cbrookins5105]

cool

[@Frenchblue8]

Karen Titmus you seem to have a really good energy and excitement about eating healthy foods and preparing them. Just don't really understand about the disconnect. Why you are using and still consuming animal products like honey and the yogurt. And you stress that your yogurt is organic like that makes some sort of difference. It doesn't. The dairy industry is cruel and corrupt in every country~"organic" doesn't change that. Dairy is dairy and if you just do some research right here on KZbin you will likely be rethinking some of your choices. The way you use quinoa is potentially awesome and just a little bit of tweaking once you understand about Dairy is all you will have to do to make those recipes of yours optimal. And I promise you they will be just as yummy. When we know better we do better.

It's very exprensive in West Africa. It's only available in specialized health shops.

[@Healthytarian]

I don't recommend eating anything that is too expensive or not native or easily available in someone's home area. In Africa, you have other amazing grains to enjoy that can easily take the place of quinoa, like Teff and Sorghum. Eating local is always best for all concerned :)

Fantastic this is going to be part of my dietary

[@Healthytarian]

Great to hear.

[@fruitsalad4763]

The only way to cook it is to toast it first, wash it then boil it. At least to make it taste nice and have a good texture

[@DottyGale8]

Does that change the nutrition in any way? I’m new to quinoa, so teach me here.

[@Healthytarian]

Toasting is not recommened in addition to boiling, as every time that heat is applied to food is changes the nutritional value and denatures many nutrients. This is why only boiling is recommened, and once cooked this way then many delicious meals can be made with the quinoa by adding spices and other whole plant food ingredients, including delicious sauces like these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXbZanqIYrmYm6c In the end, we have to decide if we want to manipulate our food in excessive ways just to please our tastebuds or if we want to take care of our food to best support our body's needs.

[@Healthytarian]

+annette lee You are most welcome and great to hear you found it valuable. The best place to start that I would recommend is simply cook a pot of it, and use it as a side to your meals, in a similar way like you would use rice. Similarly, just steaming a batch of your favorite veggies, and mixing in the quinoa and sprinkling it all with some Tamari sauce (organic fermented soy sauce) OR fresh lemon, garlic and sea salt will make a great, simple meal :)

[@1holyghostpower]

Purchased the quinoa cooked it and OMG I am amazed at how good it taste, this is replacing my rice.

Thanks for sharing your preferred method, Denise! Rice cookers can work indeed, but given that quinoa is a very quick-cooking grain, a simple stove-top method eliminates the need to buy, have, and deal with a rice cooker for those in most parts of the world where rice cookers are not the norm.

Quinoa video very interesting, but what colour quinoa is the best? Thanks for responding.

[@Healthytarian]

There is no need to pick between quinoa colors. All quinoa is great and has positive health and nutritional benefits. You pick what you can get and what you prefer.

Thanks Suresh. For muscle building the most important thing is to eat enough food that is high in nutrients, not any one specific food. But I will caution you about following the trendy fitness muscle building advice, which neglects to consider how what you do today will impact your future health. High meat or animal product diets or supplements or protein powders are not the way to best health or fitness. To learn the most up-date science about nutrition that excels for athletes and body builders, look into this film, "The Game Changers" (gamechangersmovie.com/), as well as body builders like Robert Cheeke (robertcheeke.net/) and Patrick Baboumian (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bInQlKyDrbNrqas)

@@Healthytarian - thanks mam.. you are so sweet ..you provided me very important links ..for developing the muscles .. and also the healthy diet.. I am using quinoa in my Every day life .. it keeps me very active and fit ... Thank you so much ... I love the way you explain the video with a very simple and lucid language ... mam I want to know foods that are organic rich in calcium apart from diary products ..pls .. Thanks once again ..I love you so much 😊😊😊😊🤗🤗😍

[@Healthytarian]

You are very welcome. With regards to food rich in calcium, in general, as long as you are eating a variety of foods daily, you don't ever have to worry about getting enough calcium without dairy. This means eating some fruits, some vegetables, including leafy greens and green vegetables, some grains, some beans, and some nuts or seeds daily. All of these foods have some calcium and together it all adds up. Plus, when we eat whole, plant foods mostly or fully in our diet, we don't have an acidic diet that requires more calcium, like diets rich in processed foods and animal foods. But if you want extra rich sources of calcium, look to foods like leafy greens, green vegetables, almonds, sesame seeds/tahini, figs, and most beans and lentils.
