wiki entry

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> 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. Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source.[3] It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest.</div></div>

Re: Quinoa - wat oonu tink?


it has a crunchier &quot;nuttier&quot; taste that I perfer. And like MGee said, it picks up the flavour of the stock you use really nicely. I'll also throw in some green onions to enhance the flavour as well.

It is super easy to cook and is ready in a few minutes.

i started eating it to help keep my insulin levels steadier unlike rice does and for the high protien/fibre content.

I just find it really versatile. I eat it with anything.

Re: Quinoa - wat oonu tink?

sounds like something I should try

or you have to buy it at the health food store

Re: Quinoa - wat oonu tink?

sweets - i buy mine at a bulk food store that sells it organic. i've looked in no frills but never found it there.

Re: Quinoa - wat oonu tink?


I buy my from Planet Organic which is out East as well Sweets.

I am sure I have seen it in places like Savon Foods out here, so check your side.

but I prefer to buy bulk from the bulk section at Planet Organic cause it is way cheaper.
