Quinoa-superfood or no-go in histamine intolerance? 🤔

 

💡 Good news: Quinoa is low in histamine and therefore a great alternative to grain! It is one of the so -called pseudo -struts and is naturally gluten -free. However, some people with histamine intolerance are sensitive to the saponins it contains - washing well before cooking helps to improve the tolerance.

 

Quinoa is not only versatile, but also a real nutrient power package:

 

👉 High quality protein: contains all nine essential amino acids - perfect for muscle regeneration and metabolism.

👉 Fillers: promote healthy digestion and keep you full for a long time.

👉 Magnesium: Supports the nerve function and helps to reduce stress.

👉 Iron: important nutrient for blood formation and oxygen supply in the body.

👉 B-vitamine: Essential for energy production and a healthy nervous system.
