To shine on a bed of quinoa, how easy it is to eat healthy (photo: Alon Masika, styling: Yael Magen)
For delicious, rich and nutritious food, you don't have to go on a shopping trip and fill the house with expensive raw materials, some of which will find their way to the trash from lack of use.
Sometimes one bag of quality raw material is enough, and with some fresh vegetables, spices and creativity, you can create a whole world out of them together.
After we did it with the flakes, and with the bulgur, in the last month we smashed quite a few stigmas about quinoa.
This time we enlisted the technician Edva Ruiz for the task, who made us realize how versatile quinoa can be, whether it's in a refreshing summer salad, in an Asian stir-fry dish, as a great base for fish, and even as a secret ingredient in a cake.

Why quinoa?
And there are quite a few reasons why quinoa has become a favorite of cooking and health enthusiasts, it is a real health bomb and it is not for nothing that it is called "the mother of grains" or "super grain".
It is rich in protein (20%) and contains a composition of 8 amino acids, which together form a complete and complete protein.
It is rich in vitamins (E and B), minerals (potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium) and dietary fiber.
It is easy to digest and is considered to help prevent migraines.
Quinoa does not contain gluten (wheat protein), so it is suitable for those who are sensitive to gluten.
Red quinoa is similar in its properties to white quinoa, but also contains lycopene, a particularly successful antioxidant.
In Sogat's new mix packages, you will find white and red quinoa mixed together, so that you will benefit from all the benefits, and also a colorful and playful dish.
It is very easy to cook quinoa and it cooks quickly: 15-20 minutes and it is ready.
It is advisable to wash it before cooking, to remove the remains of the slightly bitter coating that surrounds it.
You can cook quinoa in two different ways: like rice, start by lightly frying and add 2 cups of water to each cup of quinoa;
Or like pasta - cook without frying in lots of boiling, salted water.
Its neutral taste allows you to match it with a variety of raw materials and sauces, which it will absorb with love.
It can be served hot or cold.

4 unusual recipes from a bag of flakes
In collaboration with Suget
Pad C U Quinoa (Photo: Alon Mesika, Styling: Yael Magen)
Pad C U Quinoa
We started the month with the Pad C U portion.
Yes, the beloved Thai dish has received a bit of a plot twist here, and we love it.
The quinoa, which is cooked here quite similar to pasta, is combined with the Asian sauce, strips of scallion and broccoli florets and the result is a beautifully nutritious, satisfying and terribly tasty meal.

From there we continued with a slightly more classic and most desirable match, because if you've already invested in a good pan-seared fish, don't give up on yourself in terms of side dishes either.
Here, too, the quinoa is lightly cooked, mixed with celery and cilantro, and waits in the refrigerator for the fish, so that it is usually served at a lukewarm temperature, which makes the dish especially enjoyable on hot summer days.

And if we're talking about the classics, you can't talk about quinoa without talking about quinoa salad.
In this recipe, Roiz combined the delicious summer fruits, with beets and herbs, and the result is a summer salad, refreshing, satisfying, nutritious and above all fun.
Suddenly eating healthy doesn't sound so difficult.
