10 Benefits of Quinoa
Quinoa Benefit #2: Gluten Free
Quinoa is naturally gluten-free. Gluten is a protein complex composed of glutenin and gliadin proteins. It can be found within the endosperm of grass-related grains, including wheat, barley, and rye.
Only a few years ago, access to gluten-free products was highly limited to select specialty health foods stores. Nowadays, it is hard not to see gluten-free items in regular supermarkets and even on restaurant menus.
