High in nutrition, Quinoa seeds are in the same vegetable family as spinach or beetroot. A type of complex carbohydrate, they are particularly high in complete protein and fibre, and are also one of the only plant foods that possess all the nine amino acids that support exercise recovery and muscle growth.

As well, Quinoa is high in iron, which is especially good for female athletes to boost their running performance. Additionally, it also has a low glycemic index (GI) too, which means that it keeps you full for a longer period of time.

The GI of foods is a measurement of how quickly our bodies break down the carbohydrates present in the food and convert it to glucose that can be easily absorbed by the body for energy. And the higher is the fibre content present in the food, the lower is its GI. 

So this makes Quinoa ideal to supplement a runner’s everyday diet and is therefore considered as the perfect superfood to replace our daily staples such as bread and rice. 

Home grown health food brand SuperLife.Co offers premium grade and saponin free Quinoa. The toxic layer that protects the Quinoa grain from pests, it is vital to remove the saponin layer, to omit the bitter taste. This can be achieved by rinsing the Quinoa overnight.

But at SuperLife.Co, the Quinoa, due to the removal of the Sapinin layer during the preparation process, can be eaten directly out of the packet and does not have to be rinsed overnight. 

Specialising in Quinoa, SuperLife.Co believes that the key to a healthy lifestyle is by consuming natural and nutritious foods that empower people to adopt healthier eating habits through their range of Quinoa products. 

With the dedication of the team at SuperLife.Co to produce high quality foods, their products are made using only the simplest and cleanest ingredients that they can source. 

As well, SuperLife.Co stresses that the flavour of their Quinoa is not comprised too. According to the company, their Asian Quinoa Packs come in six local flavours to cater to Asian taste buds and these are the Mushroom, Spicy Curry, Japanese Seaweed, Thai Green Curry, Kimchi and Enoki flavours.

The SuperLife.Co Quinoa packs cook just like rice and furthermore, they are the perfect companion to meat and vegetables – without the bad carb reputation too. As well, the company stresses that with real pieces of mushrooms, seaweed and other toppings, you can get a healthy and wholesome meal – straight out of the package.
