Pomegranate Quinoa Salad

Hello Dear Friends,
Quinoa It has been 1-2 years since we met. This practical salad, which I have recently started to consume almost as if it is barren, is very useful. We prepare pilaf not only as a salad, but also at home. It is as delicious as the bulgur pilaf you know. (I'll post the recipe soon)

Especially in Peru and Bolivia, this grain, which dates back to 3000 BC, is very rich in nutritional value.

Since it contains all the amino acids that the human body needs and is a complete protein store, it is not missing from the tables of those who are on a diet or who take care of a healthy diet.

Since it does not contain gluten, celiac patients can also use it easily.

It is especially recommended for those who have constipation problems while dieting. This is because it contains 2 times more fiber than other grains.

You can consume quinoa not only with pomegranate etc., but also with tuna fish if you want. to your recipe You can find it here.

Love…
