Picture of Quinoa

Star Ingredient:

Quinoa Contain:

Manganese*

What is manganese? A trace mineral essential for the body to metabolize fats and carbohydrates.  In the body, it is found mostly in the bones and glands and is a cofactor for many enzymes, helping to facilitate dozens of metabolic processes.  Manganese requirements are low, and plant foods such as nuts, whole grains, and green leafy vegetables contain significant amounts of this trace mineral.  Deficiencies are therefore unlikely.

Magnesium*

Magnesium is critical for the operation of hundreds of enzymes.  It acts in all the cells of the soft tissues where it forms part of the protein-making machinery and is necessary for the release of energy.  Magnesium helps relax muscles after contraction and promotes resistance to tooth decay by holding calcium in tooth enamel. Magnesium rich food sources include dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grain breads and cereals, seafood, chocolate and cocoa.  Magnesium is easily lost from foods during processing, so unprocessed foods are the best choices.

Folate*

Did you know folate is part of the B-vitamin family, otherwise known as vitamin B9? It is active in cell division.  During periods of active growth and cell division, such as pregnancy and adolescence, folate needs to increase, and deficiency is especially likely.  The best food sources of folate are liver, legumes, green leafy vegetables, and beets. Among the fruits, they are oranges, orange juice, and cantaloupe.  Heat and oxidation during cooking and storage can destroy up to half the folate in foods.
