Quinoa Crepes with Applesauce

Quinoa is considered one of the least allergenic of all grains. Also applesauce is considered hypoallergenic. Furthermore, applesauce is rich in quercetin—a bioflavonoid that has been shown to effectively protect against allergic reactions. Quercetin works its protective magic by stabilizing the cell membranes of mast cells and basophils, thereby preventing them from releasing a load of histamine.
