Quinoa becomes a new vegetable cocktail trend

In recent years, the superfood that has been loved by Hollywood actresses is none other than quinoa! Famous singer Beyonce ate quinoa and lost 25 kilograms in just three months. Quinoa can be said to be a superstar in the nutrition industry in recent years. What is particularly eye-opening is that quinoa has become the new protagonist of cocktails.

Quinoa becomes the star of cocktails

Why is quinoa so popular in the United States? Because quinoa is rich in antioxidants and various vitamins, and especially is a low-calorie food, it is gradually replacing high-sugar ingredients often used for seasoning in traditional cocktails in the United States, becoming a new source of healthy ingredients for cocktails.

In fact, other superfoods with the same high antioxidant effects as quinoa include celery, beetroot, peas, etc. Well-known American restaurants value the characteristics of these ingredients, so they came up with the idea of ​​making these superfoods into various creative and healthy cocktails, emphasizing low calories, no burden, and healthier to eat.
