What a great product to give a protein and fiber boost to just about anything. Perfect addition to rice, spice it up for a tasty textured salad. I have even added it to my kids pasta when they decide to be vegetarian that day.

I absolutely love this stuff in salads, and I actually use it as a replacement for bulgur in tabouleh to make quinoa tabouleh! Try it :)

Quinoa is really tasty if you cook it with olive oil, garlic and salt. Mix white & red quinoa together. You can make it in a rice cooker!

Health nuts have a habit of pointing to the ingredient list on the package of your favorite snack food and asking, "how could you eat mono unpolyhydro chlorofoam?  You should never eat anything you can't pronounce!"  To them I say, "quinoa."

About this food

Wiki

Quinoa is an amino acid-rich (protein) seed that has a fluffy, slightly crunchy texture and a nutty flavor when cooked. It is available in most local health food stores year round.

Most commonly considered a grain, quinoa is actually a relative of leafy green vegetables like spinach and Swiss chard. It is a recently rediscovered ancient "grain" once considered "the gold of the Incas."

In contemporary times, this crop has become highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%–18%), making it a healthful choice for vegetarians and vegans.
