Oriental quinoa taboule with raisins
With the summery temperatures we are already having, nothing is more appealing than fresh dishes and flavors. That’s why, and because we love the burst of summer flavor it delivers, we bring you this oriental quinoa tabbouleh with raisins.
Not only does it require little time in the kitchen, but the only thing we need to cook is the quinoa, since all the other ingredients are added raw. This way, we not only avoid overheating in the kitchen, but the nutritional properties of the ingredients also stay intact, so we make the most of their nutrients.
With the ingredients in this tabbouleh, we get nutrients such as complete proteins (quinoa contains all the essential amino acids), complex carbohydrates (with a low glycemic index, which provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness), omega-3, vitamin A, B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B3 and B9 or folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, lycopene (detoxifying), beta-carotene (with great antioxidant power), tryptophan (combats the symptoms of depression), fiber and apiol (stimulates diuresis).
