The  kañiwa  or  Andean cañihua  makes its way, and with great force, among the list of super foods that are well worth discovering and introducing in our pantry. Specifically, it is a  pseudocereal , that is, a   rustic and ancient seed with grain properties, which has important health benefits.

Kañiwa belongs to the same botanical family as quinoa, hence its nutritional value is very similar. However, the truth is that the benefits of kañiwa are even superior, since it highlights some properties that quinoa does not possess. “It is a very small food, but nutritionally it can be considered very large, since it has a high content of high-quality amino acids. In addition, it is rich in vegetable proteins, minerals such as calcium and iron, omega 3 fatty acids and a remarkable amount of B vitamins ”.
