Superfood Quinoa-The Bad Side Effect of Quinoa and How to Avoid It!

[@ysach.891]

Quinoa has been eaten since ancient times by Inkas civilization. I am Peruvian and and my mom taught me to soak quinoa overnight and rinse while rubbing them with both hands. That's the proper way how to wash it. Unfortunately, when quinoa is sold abroad the instructions dont mention to soak it. Native people in the highlands have the knowledge...this super food is amazing as long as it is soaked and washed properly.

[@valeriabustos9635]

[@jonsanchezz99]

Yes, I like to add quinoa to my rice dishes. It cooks so similar its easy to do. I use my rice cooker and mix equal parts with brown and black rice. The rice cooker cookes everything to perfection. Sometimes I add a can of rotel to spice it up.

Great video and enjoyed it. Fyi, for anyone having issues digesting food. Avoid mixing protein with fruit it won't digest completely. And mixing dairy into the mix is gonna make it even harder for your body to digest. Proteins are best eaten by themselves or with leafy vegetables. Fruit is also best digested by itself or eaten with leafy vegetables or more fruit as long as you don't mix acid or sub-acid fruit with sweet fruits. Peace & Love

My daughter LOVES quinoa and started eating it three days a week. Without knowing where it was coming from started having serious stomach and intestinal problems also causing severe anxiety. We did multiple doctor visits, labs, elimination diet etc.... Finally realized it was from her organic quinoa from Costco. She just stopped eating it so hoping that'll solve the problem. If it does, she'll never touch it again because this has been awful!! Great video👌. Thanks

[@pjdominque1141]

I dug deeper with reading various sources and experts recommend wash/rinse and soaking it. I agree with rinsing and soaking properly now which I wasnt aware prior. To sum it up grains and legumes can be very hard to absorb and digest, especially modern day grains. They mentioned proper “traditional” way to prepare grains allows you to properly digest them. Unfortunately in the fast pace society that we live in, most individuals have eliminated this process all together. Many agree grains are not bad for you..only if they are not properly prepared. If grains are not traditionally prepared properly then grains should not be consumed. Bottom line, they say if you want to eat grains and/or legumes you must soak, ferment or sprout them before eating them. Why? Soaking is necessary. For ex, to properly soak raw nuts. Nuts have phytic acid. Phytic acid is also found in grains and legumes. Like nuts, soaking grains and legumes is essential for proper digestions. When eating grains and legumes that haven’t been soaked, the phytic acid binds to minerals in the gastrointestinal tract and can not be absorbed in the intestine and too many bound minerals can lead to mineral deficiencies. By soaking, you are breaking down the phytic acid so it can be absorbed correctly for proper digestion. I hope this helps and found various readings that explain deeper! Nonetheless, lets enjoy Quinoa!

[@TheNameIsRaziel]

I love this stuff. Especially when you make them into patties. After it's cooked, let stand for 10-15 minutes. Then beat an egg and add it to the quinoa. Mix well. Ball it up like you would a meatwad, then fry it in a pan. Each side for 2-3 minutes to get it nice and stuck then finish until golden brown. For vegans, you can use an egg substitute like bananas or avocado base. And use a preferred oil to fry. It tastes just like a filet fish patty for some delicious reason and goes well with tarar sauce.

Same thing with nuts and legumes too. They have to be soaked to get the phytates out of them before eating. I buy raw nuts and soak them then put them in the dehydrator. They turn out more crispy that way than either raw or (God forbid!) commercially roasted.

[@CPTdrawer22]

@@ESAATRAVIESAA - The video suggested soaking quinoa for 2 hours or overnight. In addition, I was informed by a "natural foods" person that soaking and rinsing beans - including canned beans! - eliminates the flatulence associated with them, and found it to be the case. For quick and easy preparation, at the very least, the juice which is in the can should not be used, as that is where the majority of flatulence-producing substances will be found. (Being lazy, I tried just not cooking canned beans in their own juice and found that to be true, as well.)

Fishercat 73, no, all dried beans have phytic acid not saponins. Phytic acid is bad because it binds to important nutrients therefore robbing you of those nutrients.

Have been growing this now for about 20+ years along with other garden plants. It reseeds quite easily so I never have to replant just thin out to desired spacing. I have grown to love the tender greens of the leaves and young branches cooked like spinach. Actually I quite prefer it to all other "spinach" type greens for taste and the nutrients. There seems to be no online recipes for cooking the greens this way and I read that the saponins aggravate arthritis or may cause other undesired health effects. Do you know how to properly cook the greens and eliminate the saponins so it isn't a problem. I always boil the leaves in water and discard the water before I eat. I haven't had any noticeable problems from eating it this way but I do have arthritis and am concerned about doing things the right way.

Why eat healthy quinoa or oats ( fibre rich liw GI) if u ll put in high GI maple syrup in it? You might aswell have pancakes or croissant then...

Wow this video came up. I will.have to watch this. I think I ate quinoa a long time ago and didnt care for it so this adds up. I make chia super energy bars now with dates and love them.

Such a superfood!:D what do you think of sprouted raw quinoa or do you think cooked is better?

I just tried quinoa for the first time last week. Hard for me to digest. Thanks for the video and the info. :-)

I didn't rinse mine enough today nor did I take time to soak it. Major gut pain after having a spoonful. Maybe I should soak and re-cook it (or just start over). Never used to bother me before, but now the saponins are an issue.

Great job and on point with the soaking!

This is exactly how i clean and soak my quinoa before eating it. Great work on the info!! I love my quinoa ❤️

I had quinoa the past couple of days and feel bloated, like there’s a brick in my stomach. Ugh… I should probably do a celery juice cleanse tomorrow.

Thanks for the information. I tried it for the first time today but just rinsed it and then cooked it. I didn't soak overnight. I'll do so from now on.

Quick question: Is it okay to eat Quinoa everyday? I an adding quinoa to my diet because I just became a vegan. And they say quinoa makes your butt bigger. At first I was skeptical about that but now I am definitely seeing results in that department.

No wonder my butt has been getting fuller!
