The healthy lifestyle and appropriate nutrition are stressed nowadays. New foodstuffs are still investigated with the aim to improve the diet and conduce to a better health state of the population. Pseudocereals (amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa) are convenient for this purpose. Their high nutritious and dietary quality meets the demands of the food industry and consumers.
