    Yeah, what's up with Quinoa anyway? 14g for nearly 400 calories? Like you said, great if you're looking for a grain because hey, incidental protein, but pushed as an actual source? Meh

    I'm a vegetarian, so most of my protein sources have minimal protein in them. All the hype about quinoa, I finally grabbed a box and bought it without actually reading the label. I got it home and read the label and was kind of chicked it was so little for so many calories. I never opened it and ended up donating it to a food bank.

    I'm a fan of quinoa. I eat it instead of rice or pasta most of the time.
    If you enjoy it, great. It isn't my favorite thing, though. I'd rather eat pasta.

    Well, you can have both - quinoa pasta (made with quinoa flour). It is sold at health food stores.

    :love:

    But I don't care for the taste or texture of quinoa. I'll stick with my pasta (which actually has just as much protein ...).

    Minimal protein? How about Tofu? I'm a meat-eater, but I also enjoy Tofu. My Organic shop here has numerous types. All are high in protein - yes, Soja protein. But it is quite delicious.

    Air is not an oxygen source!!!!!

    It's 78% nitrogen and only 21% oxygen.


    This sums up my thinking on this topic nicely and has just the right amount of snark attached.

    yes it's perfect. I has rendered the comment I was going to make pretty much obsolete.
