Quinoa is a gluten-free grain. It contains all nine essential amino acids, thus making it a
complete protein. Further, it is the best addition to a plant-based diet. Additionally, chia seeds
are a great source of skin-loving omega-3, fibre and calcium, for healthy bones. Both quinoa
and chia seeds are rich in complete plant protein and contain all the essential amino acids our
body needs for healthy growth and repair mechanisms.
Let’s look into the health benefits of quinoa and chia individually.
Quinoa: This seed, called a pseudo-cereal or pseudo-grain, belongs to the spinach/chard
family. Quinoa is rich in vital nutrients such as magnesium, dietary fibre and vitamin B,
and protein. It is a good source of antioxidants known as flavonoids. Quinoa is a healthy
alternative to rice.
Chia seeds: They are a good source of fibre, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and
calcium. 1ounce serving of chia seeds contains around 5.6 grams of protein. Therefore
they make it on the list of most healthy food restaurants. Chia seeds are also good to go
in smoothies, yoghurt, or oatmeal.
In this Quinoa Chia Bread recipe, chia seed will act as the binding egg replacement. Chia makes
the loaf thickness and adds to the goodness of each slice of the bread. Additionally, you can
also blend quinoa and chia seeds as ingredients to make flatbreads- this combination with
successfully become a great success.
This Quinoa Chia bread is unlike any regular loaf in texture. It is flourless and gluten-free.
Further, the fluffiness of the quinoa will give the bread a lovely lightness while being
wonderfully dense in nutrients. Just a few slices of this bread will keep you energized and
