Quinoa is the only vegetable food that possesses all the essential amino acids (those that the body can not produce). It is especially rich with lysine, arginine and histidine, all of them basic for human development during childhood.
Quinoa has also been used as a therapeutic remedy. It helps to relax muscles and blood vessels because it has high levels of magnesium and other alkaline elements.
