BenefitsĀ See the benefits of this product
Rolled oats contain a similar amount of protein in them as quinoa flakes, but the protein in quinoa flakes is more valuable. Quinoa flakes are a complete protein, which means they contain all the essential amino acids the body canāt make on its own. These essential amino acids are used to provide energy, build and repair tissues in your body, and more. This rich form of protein is abundant in animal sources, but hard to come by in plant-based sources (quinoa is one of the few).
