Quinoa is one of my favourite foods. It can be used in so many different recipes, including sweet and savory dishes. There are a ton of health benefits to quinoa as well. Here are a few of them:
- One of the most protein-rich foods out there.
- Contains almost twice as much fiber as other grains.
- Contains lysine and iron.
- Great source of riboflavin.
- Low in calories (only 172 for 1/4 cup dry).
- Gluten-free.
