Superfood Quinoa-The Bad Side Effect of Quinoa and How to Avoid It!

- One of our favourite foods for our family is Quinoa. Quinoa is considered by some a Superfood. Its become super-trendy the last few years. Its not really a grain but a sudo-grain that is similar to ancient grains. Its really a seed that is commonly found in South America. Its a complete protein providing all the 8 essential amino acids which is very rare in the plant family. Generally, a complete protein can only be found in animal products. So, its also high in fiber, calcium, magnesium and high in iron.
Being in the goosefoot family means it’s more closely related to beetroot, chard and spinach than to cereals. People of South America have been eating this beneficial food for thousands of years. Quinoa sounds perfect!! So what is the problem? Are there any bad side effects of Quinoa and how to avoid it? Well, the only issue you need to consider that I would like to address is the problem with saponins and your intestines. So, what are Saponins?

Quinoa has been eaten since ancient times by Inkas civilization. I am Peruvian and and my mom taught me to soak quinoa overnight and rinse while rubbing them with both hands. That's the proper way how to wash it. Unfortunately, when quinoa is sold abroad the instructions dont mention to soak it. Native people in the highlands have the knowledge...this super food is amazing as long as it is soaked and washed properly.
Y. Rosario Ch. soaking also sprouts the grain and allows for better absorption of nutrients
Thanks! But how did the Peruvians discover this method?
Hisbeautiful Truth Our ancestors knew ! Smartest people ever tbh
@@valeriabustos9635 Yes, and also dont forget about us ecuadorian ppl! :)
Oh wow i didn't know this thanks for sharing
Thanks for those that dont know. :) Also, just in case anyone wants to know; you can also cook quinoa in a rice cooker. In fact, I do it all the time and it comes out perfect.
Yes, I like to add quinoa to my rice dishes. It cooks so similar its easy to do. I use my rice cooker and mix equal parts with brown and black rice. The rice cooker cookes everything to perfection. Sometimes I add a can of rotel to spice it up.
I cooked it in almond milk with a squirt of agave nectar and a pinch of salt so when it was done it was like porridge. I added banana to it to add some more sweetness. Yum
Nice idea anita well done thankyou .
Hell naw to the naw naw naw

Drop this comment everywhere huh lol
One of the better videos out there discussing info about Quinoa, thank you! 😀
quinoa so popular now but prices high now in poverty countries...its good you talk about fair trade and i support this....good work on info!
I'm bolivian, that isn't entirely true, last week I bought a bag of 400 grams of black bolivian organic royal quinoa, the best quinoa that you can find in less than 3 USD and in a high end supermarket, regular quinoa can be found for even less.
Also don't forget that we have other super foods that you haven't even heard about, like cañahua, wilcaparo or maka, this only from the Andes part and copoazu, asai or achachairu from the Amazonian part
True
is not so cheap here in Canada either
My g/f and I like having it as a salad, with cucumbers, red bell peppers, tomatoes, olives, peas, and a light vinegar dressing :)
My daughter LOVES quinoa and started eating it three days a week. Without knowing where it was coming from started having serious stomach and intestinal problems also causing severe anxiety. We did multiple doctor visits, labs, elimination diet etc.... Finally realized it was from her organic quinoa from Costco. She just stopped eating it so hoping that'll solve the problem. If it does, she'll never touch it again because this has been awful!! Great video👌. Thanks
Same thing i think is happening to me what were her symptoms
i use to have rice a lot but fell in love with quinoa.....my go to food now
Absolutely!
Mine too! =)
Hey hi.. Check out my quinoa recipe, you may like
Been eating quinoa for a very long time. Last couple years, despite a good rinsing, it didn't sit well. Didn't want to give up on it, given how healthy it is, so tried your overnight soaking method with ACV. No more issues. Yum. :) Thank you!!
you have to soak it overnight
You said a good rinsing, not soaking.... must soak!!!! 12-24 hrs, rinsing and draining in between!!!
Thank you. I didnt know of this. I had Quinoa for dinner and all I did was rinse it. I by Wholesome Pantry and that was their instructions only to rinse. Now I will start soaking too.
This food is staple in our family being South American. We rinse it and soak it well. Also, people use the saponin as detergent for cleaning since its so strong. So properly rinse and soak your quinoa. Good job on this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing...how long do you soak it?...and how long or how do y rinse i
I remember watching a video about washing wool and the ladies were using a plant based detergent. Is it saponin? People use it to wash their clothes? Any info is highly appreciated. Great Mother Earth gives us everything we need, including detergent!
Great job on covering this. Much appriciated :D
Thank you and a new sub here! I came over from Brightside on bad breath. Excellent info and I've been having Quinoa for about 7yrs now.
Good info and on point. ❤️ Im from Ecaudor, my grandparents taught me it must be rinsed and soaked overnight. 👌
Nowadays most of the supermarkets sell pre-washed quinoa, so no need to soak and rinse anymore because the Saponin has been rinsed off. Pre- washing the Quinoa takes the bitter Saponin taste out.
I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info.
Even when the box tells me it is pre-washed, I wash it thoroughly in a pot and rinse several times until the foam is no more, THEN I know ALL the saponin (bad for my gut) has been removed.
Thanks so much for sharing this information because I was preparing it incorrectly!!!
thank you. Very glad I stumbled upon your video. All the videos I looked at just cooked the Quinoa straight out of the package. I'm glad I found this video before I purchased or cooked Quinoa.
Most informative vid I’ve seen on the subject, thank you for sharing!
Good to know
I will soak it overnight before cooking it
Since I react violently sometimes to a lot of healthy food
It is a learning process with my body
Very picky body
O appreciate those peoplr who comment and share their knowledges. THANK YOU ALL 💕💕
I dug deeper with reading various sources and experts recommend wash/rinse and soaking it. I agree with rinsing and soaking properly now which I wasnt aware prior.
To sum it up grains and legumes can be very hard to absorb and digest, especially modern day grains. They mentioned proper “traditional” way to prepare grains allows you to properly digest them. Unfortunately in the fast pace society that we live in, most individuals have eliminated this process all together.
Many agree grains are not bad for you..only if they are not properly prepared. If grains are not traditionally prepared properly then grains should not be consumed. Bottom line, they say if you want to eat grains and/or legumes you must soak, ferment or sprout them before eating them. Why? Soaking is necessary. For ex, to properly soak raw nuts. Nuts have phytic acid. Phytic acid is also found in grains and legumes. Like nuts, soaking grains and legumes is essential for proper digestions.
When eating grains and legumes that haven’t been soaked, the phytic acid binds to minerals in the gastrointestinal tract and can not be absorbed in the intestine and too many bound minerals can lead to mineral deficiencies. By soaking, you are breaking down the phytic acid so it can be absorbed correctly for proper digestion.
I hope this helps and found various readings that explain deeper! Nonetheless, lets enjoy Quinoa!
thank you very helpful!
thanks!
On point with the info. Thank you for sharing.
So are saying you should soak nuts before eating them? For example, almonds, cashews, pecans?
Great work young jedi.
Great video and enjoyed it. Fyi, for anyone having issues digesting food. Avoid mixing protein with fruit it won't digest completely. And mixing dairy into the mix is gonna make it even harder for your body to digest. Proteins are best eaten by themselves or with leafy vegetables. Fruit is also best digested by itself or eaten with leafy vegetables or more fruit as long as you don't mix acid or sub-acid fruit with sweet fruits. Peace & Love
Thnks for sharing
thank you for this info. can you supply a source of this info so I can share it with my scientific friends. thanks in advance.
You provided a lot of very interesting information! Thank you.
I made Quinoa yesterday. My sister's recipe with BlackBeans, corn, greenBellpepper, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, tomatoes and fresh basil & lime juice served with tortilla chips. Everyone should try it and its DELICIOUS!!!
I have been loving quinoa for almost 8 years now. I am diabetic and try to avoid carbs. I find that quinoa plays well with everything I have paired it with from cinnamon and oatmeal to taco seasoning.
It's not a low-carb food. A cup of cooked quinoa has more than 39 grams of carbohydrates
@@LourdgeneHouseofHowesBrides high Fiber so it doesn’t spike blood sugar
Keep up with the wonderful info. Loving your vids! Thank you!
this video was only 6 minutes long but it felt like 20

@@daved1929 the beat comes sick!
Jaz Barbato but good information
I only rinse and cook it, never had any of these side effects because natural foods are not drugs , I just rinse and cook it , eat it and it's nice
Probably waiting until you age and it will eventually catch you lacking 😂
@@AfaanOromostock- well actually soaking it causes the bad stuff to soak into the quinoa as opposed to just rinsing it off
Some drugs are natural and edible
@@gioplease6848 no. The saponins can’t “leak” back into the quinoa. It doesn’t work that way.
The saponins dissolve into the water making the water soapy. The water is then discarded after soaking. Then rinse again until there is no visible soapiness.
BTW Leaky gut syndrome an creep up on you.
Outstanding coverage. Thank you for all you do. blessings
Soak overnight with some kind of acid. Like veniger or lemon. Juice and a pinch of salt. Wash vigorously the next morning before cooking. I eat it every day.
I ate quinoa for the first time last week, twice. Last Tuesday, I thought it was because I was on my cycle. But I also made it Saturday and my cycle had stopped. I've been in the bathroom since Saturday evening and all I've ate was quinoa, eggs, and veggies. I wanted to know what is going on. Now I know. I guess I didn't bother to rinse or soak my red quinoa. I definitely will soak overnight the next time! It has however, made my tummy flatter. But goodness...!!
Starting to get into a healthier lifestyle. This was very helpful! :)
Same here, looking to cook more fresh food at home rather than eat out regularily.
Yes and no. Soak beans overnight; rinse quinoa and red lentils, that it. This video was way too involved.
Love the vid and informative. I've been eating Quinoa for 5 yrs now. I rinse and soak as well.
Excellent video. Agree with the soaking and i've personally been doing that for the past 2 yrs.
Thank you!
What are the cooking measurements after soaking since it expands? For 4 servings, how much quinoa should soak and how much water is needed to boil? THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot for a comprehensive, excellent video. Useful information.
Thanks for the information. I have recently started to eat it and I did not know that it should be soaked.
Keep up the great work! Amazing channel!
I'm new to your channel. Everything simple. Loved it!!
Watching this after being sick all night and wishing I had this info earlier
Spot on and very informative. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. Now I'm going to finally try quinoa!
This was the longest, slowest video of all times. Good info.
Agree and I also enjoyed it. Informative.
Same here :)
Eudora Evans I almost fell asleep too. Ha ha. His voice is very monotone.
I enjoyed it and good stuff.
you can watch the video sped up in the video settings
Great job and on point with the soaking!
I love cooking my quinoa in a rice cooker. I do it all the time and it comes out perfect. =)
Great video. I'll be trying it out. Thanks to your info!
Good to see that others are recommending soaking and rinsing quinoa. I see way too many CZcamsrs adding dry, unrinsed quinoa to their dishes. Yuch!
Superb advice on avoiding long term disaster
Great info, thank you!!
When you soak quinoa overnight, whaat is the grain to water ratio for cooking? I heard him say add one cup of water, but he didn't say how much quinoa he used. Normally, when I soak for a few hours, I use 2:1 water/quinoa, but I am guessing an overnight soak might require less water.
when you soak it the ratio is 1:1 water/quinoa
Thank you for the info. I’ll be soaking my quinoa for at least two hours from now on. I also want to point out that quinoa is not a grain, but a seed. I read many comments in which people seem to think it is a grain.
Excellent info, will do this next time.
So glad I found your channel! loving the content and videos .... New subbie 😊
same here :
Thank you for the wonderful vids!
ditto :)
Thnx, I also subbed
I've been eating Quinoa for 20yrs and love it. Absolutely, rinse and soak you must do.
But you rinse it in the pot it's already boiling in, why rinse it twice. Boiling removes all of the bad stuff
It's that simple. THANK YOU
How long do you soak it for?
What happens if you rinse but don’t soak? I think I might have done this and my stomach cramped
Elizabeth Tran i found the texture is way different when soaked
glad i came across this and wasnt rinsing it or soaking it!! appreciate the excellent info♥️
I hardly eat Quinoa but looking to eat it more often with all the good nutrients. Thanks for the info.
I watched three vids about Quinoa, and yours was the BEST! Thanks for sharing
I was living in UK for 5 yrs and just moved back to New York city. My thoughts with people in UK and Europe. Im hoping miracle things will get better..
I have not have Quinoa in a while, lastnight i had for dinner, my stomach hurts so bad. Diarrhea upon diarrhea. Even my husband having stomach pain. Woke up still feeling sick. I won’t be eating again. Mine was purchased from Trader Joe’s that where i always buy from. Yes i did wash mine. But this is my first time feeling so much pain 😢
Thank you 🙏 I didn't know this about quinoa 🤗
I've been eating quinoa for so long now😑 without soaking thanks for the info!
Damarcus Glover and get some how you live
Great Video--I love quinoa and buy the organic but had never heard about the "dark side", I will have to remember to soak it next time I use it.
Personally for myself, been eating quinoa for long time. Last few yrs, despite a good rinsing, it didn't sit well. I didnt want to give it up since all the benefits so tried overnight soaking method with ACV. No more issues. This has worked for me and know some others that do this as well.
I do vegetable stir-fry and then throw the quinoa directly into the pan, delicious
Zen sounds good
This video is perfect And my favorite recipe is: Quinoa Corn Tomate Onions Black olives Cilantro Olive oil Avocado After cooked quinoa let then stay cool and mix it with tomatoes, onions, cilantro and olives chopped. Add olive oil (as much u like it) and add avocado, corn n salt. Put in the fridge for one hour and voila !!!!
Thank you so much; I'd no idea the reality of eating quinoa and thought it was very healthy! I will stop eating it as I do have auto-immune problems! I really appreciate your information!!! Blessings!🙏😊🌷👍👍
Preperation
I Rinse it over and over again then fry it a little in a little olive oil before I cook it like rice. I don’t taste any bitterness afterwards but it still keeps me ‘regular’.
Thanks for this informative video..🙏
Thanks for educating me about my favourite quinoa

I just tried quinoa for the first time last week. Hard for me to digest. Thanks for the video and the info. :-)
thnks for information very well done.
I love Quinoa, thanks for the video!😀
What DO YOU suggest that we eat that’ll be just as good ?
Thanks for this information. I like Quinoa.
Good video
im not much of a quinoa eater but gonna eat it more often....nice informative video, thank you.
thank you for the video 😀
I ate rice for a long time. I Recently replaced quinoa with rice and I will never go back. I tried having it for breakfast and its great!
After taking quinoa my face become very very very red and hot ( I have rosacea ). My throat felt uncomfortable too.
Now I know it's because of quinoa.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for video. Is there any real difference between the red and white quinoa?
Ricki Hee The red Quinoa is probably more nutritious, but you will need to soak for about a week it’s soo darn hard to cook...
My wife makes some great recipes with Quinoa such as blackbeans. Well organized and informative.
+Jon Sanchez I also include blackbeans in my dishes with Quinoa and its so tasty!! I love it!
Thank you, I've been doing this for years with rinsing and soaking. I dont understand how people can not understand the importance of soaking their grains.
hey how long should i soak it for? thanks!!!
Same thing with nuts and legumes too. They have to be soaked to get the phytates out of them before eating. I buy raw nuts and soak them then put them in the dehydrator. They turn out more crispy that way than either raw or (God forbid!) commercially roasted.
@@ESAATRAVIESAA - The video suggested soaking quinoa for 2 hours or overnight.
In addition, I was informed by a "natural foods" person that soaking and rinsing beans - including canned beans! - eliminates the flatulence associated with them, and found it to be the case. For quick and easy preparation, at the very least, the juice which is in the can should not be used, as that is where the majority of flatulence-producing substances will be found. (Being lazy, I tried just not cooking canned beans in their own juice and found that to be true, as well.)
Thanks for the information on the side effects. Nowadays everyone is into going for it instead of wheat because of the gluten.
Thanks I never knew that quinoa was high in Ireen as stated at 55 seconds
Very nice.
Thank you.

This is a good tip would be to let the quinoa soak/drain overnight before cooking.. I recommend this technique for most grains (especially rice ) to achieve fluffy results.
This is exactly how i clean and soak my quinoa before eating it. Great work on the info!! I love my quinoa ❤️
Thanks much bro.
I was doing it all wrong
