Salty! Has over 20% of the daily max
Americans consume 4000 mg of sodium daily when the maximum recommended amount is 2300mg for healthy adults. Many people should not exceed 1500mg. Most of the sodium (65%) in our diet comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker. Excess sodium intake increases blood pressure, causes hypertension and other heart problems. That’s why most of us need to cut back.

Iron, Protein, Fiber AND Manganese. SCORE!
Quinoa is a terrific grain. It is easy to cook, has a nutty but not overpowering flavor and it is nutritious. You may know that quinoa is a good source of iron, fiber and protein, but did you know that quinoa is also an excellent source of manganese? Manganese helps relax your blood vessels, which can decrease migraines and help manage blood pressure. Choose quinoa with no added salt or flavors. It's easy enough to flavor it on your own with herbs and spices. Follow cooking directions on the package or go for pre-cooked, plain quinoa. One of the easiest ways to cook quinoa is exactly that same way you might cook rice - in a cooker 2:1 water to quinoa or in a pot. Check online for other suggestions on how to cook - there's no one way right way to cook quinoa.

Learn about Xanthan Gum, found here
Xanthan gum is an emulsifier. It helps ingredients blend more effectively and stay blended while waiting on a shelf. For example – water and oil mixtures, as well as bits of spice in a salad dressing. Xanthan Gum is made by fermenting corn sugar with a bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. It’s the same bacteria that creates black spots on broccoli and cauliflower. The result is a slimy goo that is then dried up and ground into a fine white powder.
