QUINOA GARBANZO PATTIES

Quinoa has grown in popularity as a health food in the United States and other Westernized countries, despite the fact that it has grown in South America since antiquity. In fact, the Incas revered this ancient grain as a sacred food hundred of years ago. Quinoa’s popularity has exploded in recent decades, thanks to a surge in demand for easy-to-grow, healthful, gluten-free grain alternatives. Quinoa is not only nutrient-dense, but it may also provide health benefits.

DOES QUINOA NEED TO BE SOAKED?

It is not compulsory to soak quinoa in making porridge. However, it helps to improve its digestibility and nutrient absorption. Soaking quinoa can also help remove some naturally occurring compounds called saponins, which can cause a bitter taste and interfere with nutrient absorption.

Also, soaking can help break down phytic acid, which can bind to minerals and inhibit their absorption. So if you have the time, it can be beneficial to soak quinoa before using it in porridge or other recipes. To soak quinoa, rinse it well, place it in a bowl, cover it with water, and let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well before cooking.
