The Rise of Quinoa: A Celebrity Favorite

Quinoa, a celebrity favorite food, has seen a market size of $382 million and is expected to continue growing. Dr. Uma Naidoo describes it as delicious, nutritious, and versatile, with various colors and a good source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Despite only containing 8 grams of protein per cup, quinoa offers additional benefits such as quick preparation time and versatility. It is technically a seed but classified as a whole grain, making it a better option for glucose management than refined grains like white rice. Its growing popularity and nutritional benefits make it a sought-after food for health-conscious individuals and celebrities alike.
