Quinoa seeds are emerging as the ultimate source of protein for vegans due to their better digestibility vis-à-vis other seeds. Protein content in quinoa stands at around 14% to 18%, which is higher than that of rice, maize, wheat, and oats. Therefore, quinoa seeds have emerged as effective alternative to rice for vegetarians. Rise in demand for alternative sources of protein is expected to drive the demand for quinoa seeds during the forecast period. Additionally, quinoa seeds can be a good substitutes for animal based protein. They are also considered high calorie food. Calorific value of quinoa is more than that of milk and eggs. It is equally comparable to meat in terms of calorific value. According to a research study conducted by University of Chile in 2009, protein content in quinoa is around 15%, which is approximately double that of most standard grains available in the market. Quinoa seeds are also a good source of amino acids, which is essential for the development and growth of tissues. Furthermore, quinoa seeds contain higher amount of isoleucine and lysine than any other grain.
Currently, quinoa seeds are considered superfood. Quinoa can be added as an ingredient in rice dishes such as pilaf. They can also be used rice substitute. Quinoa seeds are also added to hot breakfast cereals, soups, and salads. Furthermore, these can be used to prepare coffee, fritters, and muffins. The potential of quinoa based food products as superfoods is based on its blending capacity in terms of functionality with other foods. Increase in demand for nutritious and naturally healthy food ingredients and rising awareness about gluten free diet among consumers are estimated to drive the quinoa seeds market during the forecast period. However, fluctuation in prices of quinoa seeds is projected to hamper growth during the forecast period. The global quinoa seeds market is segmented by seed type and geography. Based on seed type, the market has been divided into organic quinoa seeds and inorganic quinoa seeds. Currently, inorganic quinoa seeds dominate the global quinoa seeds market; however, demand for organic quinoa seeds is expected to increase globally in the next few years.
