Quinoa is known as the "mother of food". In 1990s, NASA used quinoa as space food for astronauts. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) believes that quinoa is the only single plant, which can basically meet the basic nutritional needs of the human body, and officially recommends quinoa as the perfect full-nutritious food most suitable for human beings. Everyone knows that the protein content and quality of plants are not as high as eggs, meat and milk, but quinoa is different because it contains a lot of protein. The protein content is as high as 16%-22%, while the protein content of beef is about 20%, and the protein content of milk is about 16%. So eating only quinoa every day is equivalent to eating milk. Compared with rice, quinoa has lower sugar content and is suitable for dieters and middle-aged and elderly people.
There are many ways to make quinoa. Because of its mild taste, it can be paired with any staple food, such as noodles and porridge. It is also very suitable for making a hodgepodge of fruits, vegetables and beans. In summer, I like to make salad with quinoa, which is very suitable for breakfast and fat-reducing dinner. The quinoa I chose originated from Tibetan quinoa at an altitude of more than 3600 meters. It has the advantages of removing saponin, bright color, no need of soaking, no gluten, high germination rate and good nutrition for babies. Comprehensive nutrition, rich dietary fiber and good taste.
Quinoa salad
[Ingredients]: 50g Tibetan quinoa, 1 handful of bitter chrysanthemum, 3 asparagus, 7 cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs 1 piece, moderate Cupid plum salad juice, and a little olive oil.
[exercise]:
1. Pour Tibetan quinoa into a bowl and soak it in a little water 10 minute, without soaking. Soak in advance in the morning, save time, and it will be cooked soon.
2. Pour the quinoa into the milk pot, and pour water to cook for about 15 minutes. When you see that the cooked quinoa will have lovely tendrils, turn off the fire. Take out the cooked quinoa and let it cool for later use.
3. Cut the bitter chrysanthemum and asparagus into 3 cm long sections, cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and cut the boiled eggs into pieces.
4. Except the eggs, all the other ingredients are poured into a small bowl, and then the green plum salad juice and olive oil are poured in. The taste of green plum salad juice is sweet, sour and salty, so I omitted the salt and rice vinegar. If there is no salad juice, you can make your own juice, add salt and a little sugar with rice vinegar.
5. When the dish is finally loaded, just put the boiled eggs on the bitter chrysanthemum.
It's really satisfying to eat this refreshing and nutritious salad on a hot summer morning. For dieters, it is also an excellent choice for dinner. Deluxe salad can also add chicken and shrimp, which will be richer in flavor.
For most people, only by eating a good breakfast can they have strong energy to work and live. Therefore, whether it is Chinese food or western food, whether it is good or full, only eating healthy is the most important thing.
