Healthy Dinner Recipes: This is such a simple quinoa recipe and so tasty.
Quinoa is one of the ancient grains, and it’s discovery as a grain you can eat dates back 3 to 4 thousand years ago. Quinoa is a starch that you can to replace rice or pasta in any dish. It has a lot more fiber and a lot more protein and still gives you a great texture your family will like. It’s has a nutty but light texture and goes well with a lot of things.
You will see you don’t feel as full as eating rice. I have come to love this grain and it’s nutty flavor. I also use it in salads as well as a side dish with eggs. It really adds a lot of flavor as a side dish to protein, like fish and chicken too.
Quinoa is also a favorite of vegetarians and vegans because of its high protein content. Quinoa is a complete protein and contains all nine amino acids! Quinoa is one of those “carbs” that is much better to choose than your usual rice or potato or bread or pasta.
