Its presence is traced as far back as the time of the Aztecs and Incas. However, despite it being around so long, quinoa only recently gained popularity with its status growing exponentially in 2013 after the <em>United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization<\/em> declared 2013 the International Year of Quinoa (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/press\/en\/2013\/ga11341.doc.htm\">4<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But what is it exactly?<\/p>\n<p>First of all, contrary to popular belief, quinoa is a seed and not a grain. According to <em>The Huffington Post<\/em>, this seed is often classified as a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/brown-rice-diet\/\">cereal grain<\/a>, which is not true. Instead, it is a seed that is harvested from a tall, leafy plant (the <em>Chenopodium quinoa<\/em> plant), a relative of spinach, beets and<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/swiss-chard-benefits\/\"> chard<\/a>. It can also be referred to as a pseudo-cereal grain (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/quinoa-is-not-a-grain_n_59380558e4b0aba888ba7b44\">13<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_replacement\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34509 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Quinoa Side Effects\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>An important distinction to make between cereals and pseudo-cereal grains is that (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/quinoa-is-not-a-grain_n_59380558e4b0aba888ba7b44\">13<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/pseudocereal\">8<\/a>)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cereals\/true grains are<\/strong> the edible seeds of specific grasses belonging to the Poaceae plant family.

One very recent study by the journal of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Molecular Nutrition &amp; Food Research <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found that in rats, this pseudo grain has the ability to increase intestinal permeability (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33939283\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as a leaky gut, increased intestinal permeability is sometimes a part of the pathology\u00a0 of gastrointestinal conditions such as celiac disease, Crohn&#8217;s disease, and irritable bowel syndrome (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4253991\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5988153\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: center;\" role=\"presentation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bloating_And_Gas\"><\/span>Bloating And Gas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While quinoa is an excellent source of fiber, most of the fiber found in this seed is actually insoluble. Consuming<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fiber-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> too much fiber<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can lead to gastrointestinal side effects such as bloating, gas, stomach cramps, or dehydration among other symptoms. To avoid this particular quinoa side effect, stick to a reasonable portion size (1 cup cooked) and drink more water with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: center;\" role=\"presentation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_Worsen_Symptoms_Of_Crohns_Disease\"><\/span>Could Worsen Symptoms Of Crohn&#8217;s Disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suffer from Crohn&#8217;s disease, it would be in your best interest to stay away from this specific food during a flare up. High fiber foods like whole grains and pseudograins, including quinoa, can be irritating when your intestine is actively inflamed. You may be able to eat quinoa when you are not going through a flare up, but for some people it could be a trigger, so work with your doctor or dietitian to develop an individualized eating plan and help minimize your symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, research in animals has shown that this seed provides prebiotic fiber that can improve the profile of bacteria in the gut, and so may help alleviate intestinal symptoms that are caused by gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of bacteria in the gut) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6175902\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: center;\" role=\"presentation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_Increase_Your_Risk_Of_Kidney_Stones\"><\/span>Could Increase Your Risk Of Kidney Stones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite the fact that this <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/gluten-free-diet-plan\/\">grain is gluten-free<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and is considered a complete protein, people with a history of or a higher susceptibility to kidney stones may need to\u00a0 avoid this pseudo cereal.

As seen in the above &#8216;quinoa nutrition facts&#8217; section, just one cup of this pseudo cereal has 39.4 grams of carbohydrates. This is very similar to the amount in 1 cup of other grains and grain products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are on a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/14-day-keto-diet\/#How_Many_Carbs_Should_I_Eat_On_Keto\">ketogenic diet<\/a>, then quinoa should not be on your list of foods to eat. Remember that keto is very strict on daily carbs intake &#8211; about 20 to 50 g of carbs a day. Eating quinoa while on keto meals uses up your allotted carb intake. This means that you can&#8217;t eat either fruits or vegetables which have carbs and very important nutrients. Doing this long-term will lead to nutritional deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you are on a moderately<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1200-calorie-high-protein-low-carb-diet\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">low-carbohydrate diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can have some quinoa but you\u2019ll need to limit your intake. Try having just half or even a quarter of your regular quinoa serving and filling the rest of your plate with leafy greens, other non-starchy<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/what-is-a-serving-of-vegetables\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vegetables<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: center; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 1pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Quinoa_Have_Protein\"><\/span>Does Quinoa Have Protein?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;\">Yes, it does. In terms of quinoa nutrition, the pseudo grain gives you eight grams of protein per cup. As if this were not enough, the seed is also considered a plant-based complete protein. This fact makes the seed such a staple for many vegans and vegetarians around the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete proteins are those food sources that provide our bodies with the 9 essential amino acids that cannot be naturally produced by our bodies, which is rare in plant-based foods. These essential acids include histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/academy\/lesson\/what-are-complete-proteins-definition-food-examples.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 1pt 0pt 10pt; text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the potential quinoa side effects mentioned above, this pseudo grain is still considered quite healthy and its benefits certainly exceed the negative side effects. With that being said, it&#8217;s always better to be safe than sorry. If you have a history of any of the above mentioned illnesses, please stay away from this pseudocereal or talk to your doctor or dietitian about it.
