    Quinoa in Spanish, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa. is a species of the goosefoot genus, a grain crop grown primarily for its edibleseeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family.

The plant has been cultivated for over 5000 years and is native to South Americas Andean region, specifically Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru. Quinoa in Tamil is Seemai Thinai.

    About Stir frying :
    Stir frying is a Chinese cooking technique that involves frying ingredients in a small amount of very hot oil while stirring or tossing them in a wok. The technique originated in China and has since spread throughout Asia and the Western world. In Western cooking, it is similar to sautéing.

    Quinoa was created by whom?

    It was developed by the Incas in the mountains of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. has been at the forefront in these areas for the past 5,000 years. It was a staple for the Incas and is still a popular food source for their descendants, the Quechua and Aymara.

    Is quinoa more nutritious than rice?

    A cup of quinoa also contains twice as much protein and 5 grammes more fibre than the same amount of white rice. Quinoa is not only the healthier option due to its higher protein and fibre content, but it also fills you up faster, allowing for smaller portion sizes.

    Ingredients for Quinoa Veggie Stir Fry Recipe :

    Cooked Quinoa :
    Quinoa is high in protein, has a sweet and nutty flavour, and has a distinct texture. It can also be used in place of starchier pasta and rice in a variety of dishes. A common issue when cooking quinoa is that it can produce a bitter aftertaste. There is, however, a simple solution to avoid the bitter taste.

    Capsicum :
    Because of their higher sugar content, red capsicums are the sweetest and highest in vitamin C and beta carotene. Orange and yellow capsicums contain nearly as much sugar as red capsicums, whereas green capsicums have a low sugar content due to early picking, which gives them a slightly bitter taste.
