Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.

By Candy, RN (Steele the Day)

What? You’ve never heard of quinoa? Where have you been for the last several thousand years?

Quinoa is a grain that was a staple of the ancient Andean civilizations, and has most recently been in the nutrition news for its nutritious protein content. One serving provides 8 grams of protein, which is pretty high for a grain. The unique thing about quinoa is that is contains all the amino acids that make up a complete protein, which is highly unusual for a plant food. You can buy red or white quinoa in the bulk section of your local grocer, or boxed, usually in the health food section.

It doesn’t have a lot of flavor by itself, but face it, neither does pasta or rice. It’s all about the fresh flavors you add to enhance your dish, and still make it nutritious.
