Peruvian Pineapple with Quinoa 🇵🇪
Quinoa is a highly nutritious pseudocereal. It’s the only plant-based food that contains all essential amino acids and vitamins. It’s gluten-free, making it safe for people with celiac disease. Its low glycemic index makes it suitable for people with diabetes. Quinoa is also a source of vitamin B9, which supports healthy fetal development during pregnancy. It contains fiber, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are important for healthy bones and help prevent anemia.

Note: When the dessert is finished, do not add more sugar since you caramelized it at the beginning for sweetness and color. Taste and add a little more sugar if needed, but don’t make it too sweet. Remember to remove the cloves and cinnamon stick before serving.
I hope you enjoy my recipe! It’s very nutritious thanks to the quinoa and is a great way to serve it to kids.
