QUINOA (pronounced "keen-wah"). Yummy, oh-so nutritous & healthy, easy & quick to cook, & very versatile. Quinoa was a staple of the ancient Incas, who called it "the mother grain." It contains more protein than any other grain; has all eight essential amino acids, is higher in unsaturated fats & lower in carbohydrates than most grains, & it provides a rich & balanced source of vital nutrients. Needless to say.......I'll be experimenting in the kitchen.

Quinoa. Mom says if its not too expensive she will try it. Everyting else comes after "How much does it cost?"
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Hits all the positive food notes. If it's too expensive I might have to sneak in some contraband.
Dad
