Nutritional values

Quinoa convinces with many unsaturated fatty acids, which help to keep the cholesterol level in balance and protect the vessels from deposits. Black rice is a whole grain rice variety and provides important dietary fiber that ensures long-lasting satiety and stimulates intestinal activity.

If you can't find black rice, you can of course make the salad with regular whole grain rice.
