What is Quinoa?

People ask “What is Quinoa?” Quinoa is a bit like brown rice crossed with oatmeal. It’s fluffy, creamy, crunchy and somewhat nutty, all rolled into one. It’s fairly versatile and can be prepared several different ways. It is gluten free. Vegetarians love it.

A cup of quinoa gives you twice the protein and about 5 grams more fiber than the same amount of white rice. Because of the higher quantity of protein and fiber, quinoa is not only the healthier choice, but will also fill you up faster, allowing for smaller portion sizes. This Quinoa and Sweet Potato stew is a good example.
