    Quinoa just is a healthy grain. This recipe tastes surprisingly good

    are there unhealthy grains then?

    There are no replacements for corn tortillas. There are inferior alternatives, but there are no replacements.

    try grinding quinoa into a flour and add water! Add a pinch of sugar for pancakes. Pour onto a skillet with coconut oil and cook. Had this for lunch. SO GOOD! I put on spinach and baby bell cheese. I would highly recommend it!

    That could be useful to change things up or to help meet daily macro needs, as quinoa is very high in protein. I wouldn't go so far as to replace everything with it, but nice tip!

    Seems like a whole lot of effort.

    I like my bread, helgas 5 seed, smells good out of the toaster. I used to eat this other helgas bread like soy and something I think, tasted good.

    My home milled flour is pretty healthy all things considered. Quinoa has a very distinct flavor that is not easy to mask, and I can't say I would want in my pancakes. :noway:

    Well like i said i eat quinoa because i love quinoa
    not going to replace my bread or tortilla's because they should be bad.

    I like making chickpea pancakes. Chickpea/gram/besan flour, water, salt, a little cumin. Cook in a hot nonstick pan on either side (takes maybe 2 minutes total.) They're a fun change of pace for a quick breakfast, or to have with an Indian-style meal.

    Here's a comparison between brown rice and quinoa. Both healthy, the difference being that for 100g each, you're getting more of pretty much everything with the quinoa: more calories, potassium, protein (good amount of protein for a grain is a big selling point for quinoa), etc.:

    https://google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=quinoa+compared+to+rice&oq=quinoa+compar&gs_l=hp.1.0.0l9.3564.22080.0.25119.14.14.0.0.0.0.114.1267.8j5.13.0.ckpsrh...0...1.1.64.hp..2.12.1177.0.0y12nt6CWnI

    So, as always, depends what you're looking for.

    You know they make quinoa flour right?

    Honestly, this sounds gross but I hate quinoa anyway

    Well I was actually talking about checkers with the king me comment.

    You can't be kinged in chess? That would mean you either lost your king or had two.

    @19marialyn, why did you get rid of your title and original post? I was looking forward to reading more.
