Quinoa

If you have not tried quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) yet, you are missing out!  Quinoa falls into the grain category, although it is a complete protein with over 8 grams per cup. It also boasts iron, fiber, magnesium, and calcium.  It cooks just like rice and can replace rice in any dish.  Try this yummy combination, or experiment and come up with your own creation.
