Once prepared, Quinoa is light and fluffy, making it fun to eat! It is about the same size of couscous, brown in color and has a slight nutty flavor.
Since Quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, it is considered a complete protein source. It also provides a good source of fiber, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Plus, Quinoa is gluten-free and is very easy to digest.
Preparation is super simple and quick!
Cover 1 cup of Quinoa with 2 cups water or vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover & reduce to simmer, cook for 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Add seasonings and veggies to enhance! Toasted pine nuts and caramelized onions are an excellent compliment to this tasty treat.
Try it!
