Check the Nutrition Facts here | Red quinoa is nothing more than the beautiful sister of pretty white quinoa. The nutritional value is basically the same. However it takes a tad longer to cook, is crunchier and has a nuttier flavour. Red quinoa looks gorgeous in salads (we reckon lots of recipes are on their way) plus its amazingly versatile. Thanks to the tuna and avocado this recipe is a good source of Vitamin B12, Phosphorus and Manganese, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin K, Niacin and Selenium. The combination with lemon will amaze you! |
