Food That Does Not Cause Gas #7: Quinoa

Quinoa is a type of grain that is botanically related to spinach. It is rich in dietary fiber, protein, vitamin Bs, and dietary minerals (folate, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese) when compared to other grains. It is also gluten free. Raw quinoa consists of 13 percent water, 64 percent carbohydrates, 14 percent protein, and 6 percent fat.

Quinoa is a great grain or source of carbohydrate as it does not contribute to gas. This is thought to be due to it being gluten free and the presence of magnesium, which helps activate enzymes that break down food into smaller components.
