I discovered Quinoa for the first time from my nutritionist. You just cook it like rice. It's simple, cheap (I got it from PCC natural foods), yummy & very healthy!!

    We eat it all the time hot and cold....I make a real good one with fresh garden veggies and a little feta. It is also really good to boil it with low sodium chicken broth!

    Enjoy! :happy:

    There is the quinoa grain, which I really like, as you stated. There are also quinoa flakes that make a very fast and easy breakfast cereal. The brand I buy is Ancient Harvest; I have found them at most health food stores and a few main line grocery stores. They take 30 seconds to cook. This is a whole grain, and has more protein than any other grain.
