Superfood Quinoa-The Bad Side Effect of Quinoa and How to Avoid It!

One of our favourite foods for our family is Quinoa. Quinoa is considered by some a Superfood. Its become super-trendy the last few years. Its not really a grain but a sudo-grain that is similar to ancient grains. Its really a seed that is commonly found in South America. Its a complete protein providing all the 8 essential amino acids which is very rare in the plant family. Generally, a complete protein can only be found in animal products. So, its also high in fiber, calcium, magnesium and high in iron.
Being in the goosefoot family means it’s more closely related to beetroot, chard and spinach than to cereals. People of South America have been eating this beneficial food for thousands of years. Quinoa sounds perfect!! So what is the problem? Are there any bad side effects of Quinoa and how to avoid it? Well, the only issue you need to consider that I would like to address is the problem with saponins and your intestines. So, what are Saponins?

Quinoa has been eaten since ancient times by Inkas civilization. I am Peruvian and and my mom taught me to soak quinoa overnight and rinse while rubbing them with both hands. That's the proper way how to wash it. Unfortunately, when quinoa is sold abroad the instructions dont mention to soak it. Native people in the highlands have the knowledge...this super food is amazing as long as it is soaked and washed properly.

My daughter LOVES quinoa and started eating it three days a week. Without knowing where it was coming from started having serious stomach and intestinal problems also causing severe anxiety. We did multiple doctor visits, labs, elimination diet etc.... Finally realized it was from her organic quinoa from Costco. She just stopped eating it so hoping that'll solve the problem. If it does, she'll never touch it again because this has been awful!! Great video👌. Thanks

Great video and enjoyed it. Fyi, for anyone having issues digesting food. Avoid mixing protein with fruit it won't digest completely. And mixing dairy into the mix is gonna make it even harder for your body to digest. Proteins are best eaten by themselves or with leafy vegetables. Fruit is also best digested by itself or eaten with leafy vegetables or more fruit as long as you don't mix acid or sub-acid fruit with sweet fruits. Peace & Love

I've been in the bathroom since Saturday evening and all I've ate was quinoa, eggs, and veggies. I wanted to know what is going on. Now I know. I guess I didn't bother to rinse or soak my red quinoa. I definitely will soak overnight the next time! It has however, made my tummy flatter. But goodness...!!

@pjdominque1141 6 жыл бұрын

I dug deeper with reading various sources and experts recommend wash/rinse and soaking it. I agree with rinsing and soaking properly now which I wasnt aware prior. To sum it up grains and legumes can be very hard to absorb and digest, especially modern day grains. They mentioned proper “traditional” way to prepare grains allows you to properly digest them. Unfortunately in the fast pace society that we live in, most individuals have eliminated this process all together. Many agree grains are not bad for you..only if they are not properly prepared. If grains are not traditionally prepared properly then grains should not be consumed. Bottom line, they say if you want to eat grains and/or legumes you must soak, ferment or sprout them before eating them. Why? Soaking is necessary. For ex, to properly soak raw nuts. Nuts have phytic acid. Phytic acid is also found in grains and legumes. Like nuts, soaking grains and legumes is essential for proper digestions. When eating grains and legumes that haven’t been soaked, the phytic acid binds to minerals in the gastrointestinal tract and can not be absorbed in the intestine and too many bound minerals can lead to mineral deficiencies. By soaking, you are breaking down the phytic acid so it can be absorbed correctly for proper digestion. I hope this helps and found various readings that explain deeper! Nonetheless, lets enjoy Quinoa!

Fishercat 73, no, all dried beans have phytic acid not saponins. Phytic acid is bad because it binds to important nutrients therefore robbing you of those nutrients. Luckily, phytic acid is water soluble. That is the reason beans (and raw nuts) are soaked in water overnight. After the soak discard the water and rinse one more time. Then cook as directed.

I know this advice is well intentioned but fuck it, I live in the real world, do my best and refuse to get obsessed with this stuff.
