Health Benifits of Main Ingredients in Quinoa Patties

Quinoa is an increasingly popular seed that is used in pilaf, salads, patties, soups, and more. It is primarily grown as a grain crop (Chenopodium quinoa) to harvest its seeds. Quinoa is considered a healthier option compared to rice and wheat because of its high protein and high fiber content. It is also high in various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin-B, vitamin-E, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, etc. Lastly, it is a good source of anti-oxidants and a popular gluten-free option.

Beans are full of proteins, vitamins, complex carbs, minerals, and anti-oxidants. All these nutrients along with low cost make it a very popular food choice in several countries. Beans are considered to be heart-healthy, help regulate blood sugar, are easy to digest, and reduce cancer risk.

Walnuts are packed with plant-based omega-3 fats, along with high amounts of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin. They are known for the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer.
