最近所有的美国美食杂志都在推荐一个食品,那就是奎藜籽(quinoa)。这个东西从来没有吃过,看起来像中国的小米,买来一些,试试看。居然非常好吃,有嚼头,强烈推荐。
这种貌似杂草的植物生长在南美洲,已经有5000年的历史,含低碳水化合物,纤维和蛋白质,以及丰富的B族维生素和矿物质,包括铁,磷,镁和锌,没有任何糖分。传说如果人类要飞向火星以及更远的地方,最有可能被选中的植物应该是奎藜籽(quinoa)。在美国所有的超市都有卖,我喜欢whole food的有机奎藜籽。
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a small, round, quick-cooking grain somewhat similar in colour to sesame seeds. It’s a nutritional powerpack—an excellent source of low GI carbs, fibre and protein, and rich in B vitamins and minerals including iron, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc. You can also buy quinoa flakes and quinoa flour, but GI of these products has not yet been published.
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) has been culivated in the South American Andes for 5000 years. Given the name ‘the mother grain’ by ancient farmers, it was cultivated alongside potatoes as a staple crop, and revered as sacred due to its hardiness, nutritional value, and versatility. Like buckwheat, it is called a grain, but it is technically the fruit of a plant in the Chenopodium family. Quinoa is now grown in and exported from Peru and the United States.
