What is quinoa?
Well, some consider it a grain and some don’t. Either way, it’s definitely in the grain/rice/cereal family, and that’s a family I enjoy eating.
How about you? Of course you do…
Even better news is that quinoa (pronounced Keen-Wah) is actually a pretty good source of protein when compared to most grains, packing in 8 grams per cup.
Even better news is that quinoa is the only grain that contains complete protein, each gram containing all 26 amino acids.
Even BETTER news is that quinoa is extremely low glycemic coming in at an extraordinarily low 35 on the scale while offering a generous 5 grams of fiber per cup.
Do you now see how AMAZING quinoa is?
It’s the grain of all grains. You can mix it with beans, you can eat it by itself, you can mix it in to “salads”, serve it alongside steak, chicken, or fish…you can pretty much do whatever you want with it anytime you need a quality, low glycemic, high fiber, protein-packed carb source.
Now that’s a food you should be eating.
