Quinoa is a nutrient dense grain-like seed that is easy to cook and needs little flavoring. It's a great alternative to rice for variety in flavor and texture and it also has a much shorter cooking time... which makes it quick and easy to get on the table for family dinner. Quinoa is also superior to most grains because it contains all the essential amino acids needed to be considered a "complete protein". Not only is it healthy... but it tastes great too! Give this simple quinoa recipe a try!
