Dr Agata Wojciechowicz-Budzisz from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław will carry out the project ‘Characteristics of bakery sourdoughs prepared on the basis of pseudo-cereals with special malts’. The pseudo-cereal from which the researcher will obtain sourdough for baking will be quinoa, or quinoa: white, red and black.

“Pseudo-cereals, and quinoa is one of these, are very popular, especially with people who avoid gluten-containing grain products for various reasons. The quinoa I chose contains protein with a great amino acid composition, many macro- and micronutrients, unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, dietary fibre, i.e. all ingredients that affect human health through gut health”, says Dr Wojciechowicz-Budzisz.
