The current issue of Mens Health magazine declares quinoa as “one of the most nutritious foods on the planet”. Quinoa is a grain which was held sacred by the Incas. It is packed with protein, amino acids, fiber and healthy fats. “Quinoa has an addictive nutty flavor, cooks up quicker than rice, and can be used to make pilafs, risottos, salads, soups, and even desserts.” The Mens Health article also contains recipes to help get you started enjoying this ancient superfood. More information can also be found on Wikipedia and WHFoods. I’ve seen quinoa in the grains aisle at Whole Foods. I’ll be picking some up tomorrow.
