This grain has been reported as having more protein than beef. I use it like rice or like couscous. _________________ Never let your fears become the bounderies of your dreams!

Quinoa is available in your local health food stores throughout the year. 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." Quote: Health Benefits Not only is quinoa high in protein, but the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Not only is quinoa's amino acid profile well balanced, making it a good choice for vegans concerned about adequate protein intake, but quinoa is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. Because quinoa is a very good source of manganese as well as a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus, this "grain" may be especially valuable for persons with migraine headaches, diabetes and atherosclerosis. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

I tend to mix it with pesto which makes it really tasty or you can cook it in ½ orange juice and ½ water for a salad which is really good too. _________________ http://www.teastained.co.uk/

We have used it in place of rice, in soups and for breakfast or a snack with cinnamon, bananas, maple syrup or agave, warm or cold. _________________ CD by Biopsy 3/25/88

My steamer is probably my most used appliance.

I have it in my store in 4 presentations. Natural, Called Perlada, you cook just like rice. Then flour, mix it with potato and corn flour, and make hot cakes, muffins, brownies. Quinoa flackes, put in fruit, salats, ets, not necesary to cook. Good for babies. Than it is Instant quinoa, just mix with fruit juice, hemp milk, almond milk ets. Any one knows how to post a photo to my profile? _________________ Visit Cristi Fer Tienda Naturista in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, Av. Constituyentes, between 10 and 15 Av.
