For many years, health experts have cited the virtues of eating quinoa. In short, it is a miracle of grain. "It is gluten-free, rich in fiber, packed with antioxidants and full of nutrients such as iron, zinc and magnesium," explains Jessica Rosen, president of Raw Generation and certified holistic health coach. "Quinoa is a complete protein, with nine essential amino acids, while still low in calories. Eating Quinoa promotes weight loss and better health."

But did you know that quinoa also has great benefits for the skin and hair? That's why we see this superstar ingredient popping up in everything from moisturizers to shampoos. A 2015 study, published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, has shown that quinoa is rich in proteins, polyphenols and amino acids that can help prevent skin aging.

The tough part of quinoa is riboflavin, which makes the skin more elastic and flexible.

Quinoa is also rich in vitamin A, which is eventually converted to retinol in our skin and accelerates cellular turnover. Quinoa also contains quercetin, which is anti-inflammatory, as well as vitamin E, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc copper, manganese and selium - all important for strong, healthy skin.

Regarding your hair, quinoa proteins add strength and protection to your hair.

Quinoa has the highest protein concentration of all other grains and it has some of the essential amino acids that your body cannot produce itself. When quinoa proteins are chemically cut into smaller pieces via enzymes (also called hydrolysed), they correspond to the keratin that is naturally present in your hair. When your hair is damaged by heat, chemicals or the sun, these hydrolysed pieces fill the gaps, repairing your hair.
