Red Quinoa

Discussions can be posted here about mediator release testing (MRT), as offered by Oxford Biological Technologies, in conjunction with the LEAP program, which is claimed to determine a relative level of sensitivity to various foods and chemicals by measuring an increase in the ratio of liquids to solids in a blood sample that has been exposed to a specific allergen.

Red Quinoa

Post by Pat »

I tried Inca Red Quinoa and it was good. Even DH thought it was good, maybe better than the traditional quinoa, but I failed to notice that the red has double the fiber as the traditional. 6 as opposed to 3. It showed up 12 hours later undigested. I guess DH can have it.

Well, fiber is by definition, indigestible, (by humans). Of course, you should have been able to digest the protein and carbs in it. :shrug:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Thanks for letting us know, Pat. I would have thought it'd be the same as the white quinoa.
