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 reducing the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer.

You can use these patties in different types of burgers, wraps, kathi-rolls, with pita bread, just as a cutlets or on-the-go snack. The more creative ones can use molds to make these patties in various shapes depending on the occasion.
