The Wonders of Quinoa

Guess what, there is a newly popular player on the grocery store shelf and its absolutely delicious. Its name is quinoa and there is a chance you are already familiar with it. If you are not, quinoa is a member of the cereal/grain.rice family and is a fantastic source of protein, particularly compared to the vast majority of trains. Quinoa boasts an astounding eight grams of protein per each cup. Perhaps the best part of this grain is that, unlike any other grain out there, has only complete protein, that is each gram contains the twenty-six amino acids. But the good qualities don’ stop there. Quinoa also is quite low glycemic and provides upwards of five grams of fiber/cup.

Do you understand what all the hype is about now? It is the creme de la creme of grains, or rather, the grain de la grain, if you will. Quinoa is also quite versatile in taste. You can eat it alone, serve it along fish or steak, or even include it in a salad. Whatever you do, be sure that you try to regularly include this wonder-grain into your diet.
