I have just started eating Quinoa over the past several months and I am enjoying it very much. As I have gone gluten free and grain free, Quinoa is a nice substitute for rice and pasta. And by the way, contrary to what you may see written, Quinoa is a "seed". It is not a grain though it is often referred to in that way. Initially, I didn't like the flavor when boiled just plain and it took me awhile to get used to it. Now I boil it in either chicken stock or beef stock and it really has a nice taste. One of the ways I have used it is mixing it with chop meat and making hamburgers; you can also use it to make stuffed peppers. You can pretty much add it to anything and everything. There are many cookbooks and websites with all different types of Quinoa recipes. The main reason I enjoy eating Quinoa is that it is such a complete food. It is full of amino acids that your body needs along with proteins, other minerals and vitamins. One researcher said that if he was stranded on an Island and could only have one choice of what he would want with him, he said Quinoa because that would supply complete nutrition. If I go off of my program and eat wheat or pasta and I'm not feeling well, I will make some quinoa and find that it helps restabilize my blood sugar levels and balance out my system. Try it...you will like it.
