Quinoa oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of the plant and has been cultivated since at least 3000 B.C.Quinoa oil is most similar to corn oil and is rich in essential fatty acids, linoleic being predominant.Although, quinoa oil contains more essential fatty acids than corn oil. Most oils with high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids spoil quickly, but quinoa and corn oil both have high quantities of natural antioxidants, which makes them more stable and less likely to become rancid, guaranteeing a longer shelf-life |
