Definitions
- the present invention relates to a use of Chenopodium formosanum ( Djulis ) extract, particularly to the use of Chenopodium formosanum ( Djulis ) extract for the use of antioxidation and improving skin appearance, including skin moisturizing, skin whitening, and skin wrinkle smoothing.
- Chenopodium formosanum also known as Taiwan quinoa, red quinoa, purple quinoa, and rainbow rice, is an annual herb and an endemic species found in Taiwan. It is a close relative of quinoa and belongs to the Chenopodiaceae family and the genus Chenopodium . Distributed in the middle and low altitude mountain areas of central and southern Taiwan, it has more than a hundred years in aboriginal farming history. At present, the aboriginal tribe of Paiwan in Eastern Taiwan has the most abundant seed resources. Red quinoa is edible, and its seedlings, tender stems, and flower spikes can be added to cooking or boiling soup. Red quinoa seeds can also be ground into a powder to serve as raw materials for glutinous rice balls.
- red quinoa The protein content of red quinoa is twice that of rice.
