Healthy Hair – Quinoa contains important minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus that seal moisture in the scalp to keep dandruff at bay.

Aids Tissue Repair and Growth – Quinoa is rich in lysine and high protein, which is important for tissue repair and growth. Quinoa is the only grain that contains this amino acid.

Promotes Weight Loss – Quinoa is rich in fiber and protein which suppresses hunger, which in turn, help reduce your food intake. Additionally, high fiber intake has been linked to lower cholesterol levels.
