Nutritional values

Their complex carbohydrates and satiating fiber make quinoa a great source of energy. The flavonoids and polyphenols from pomegranate have an anti-inflammatory effect and a positive effect on the cardiovascular system.

To make the quinoa salad more versatile, millet can be used instead of quinoa. Just like quinoa, millet has valuable protein and is rich in iron.
