Quinoa and Avocado Pita

Overview

In fact, PITA cake is a soft, slightly fermented flatbread. It is commonly used in Mediterranean, Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisine. It is somewhat similar to the Jiamo in Beijing, China, but is larger and thinner than the Jiamo. This easy-to-preserve staple food can be found in Israeli bakeries, food stores or supermarkets. Let’s talk about quinoa. The reason why quinoa is so popular abroad is that it was used by NASA as space food for astronauts in 1980. It can be seen that it is super rich and has comprehensive nutritional value. Quinoa is an easy-to-cook and digestible food with a unique taste and a light nutty or ginseng aroma. It has the functions of balancing nutrition, enhancing body functions, repairing the body, regulating immunity and endocrine, improving the body's stress ability, preventing diseases, anti-cancer, weight loss, and auxiliary treatment. It is suitable for consumption by all groups. It should be noted that due to excessive processing, the precious nutrients of quinoa will be lost. In order to preserve more nutrients, the finished quinoa should be processed as little as possible. Quinoa is easy to cook and tastes good, and can be paired with any ingredient.
