" Hundreds of meal ideas for incorporating this delicious
protein powerhouse into your cooking repertoire. "
By now you've probably heard and seen all the positive press
about quinoa -- it's now firmly established in the superfoods hall
of fame. Not only is quinoa high in protein (more than any other
grain) but the protein it supplies is complete protein, which means
it includes all the essential amino acids. It's also an excellent
source of magnesium, folate, phosphorus, iron and fiber so it's an
ideal ingredient for vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians. And
because it's also gluten-free, it's a valuable ingredient for
anyone affected by gluten intolerance.
Quinoa naturally has a wonderful texture (reminiscent of
couscous) and a delicious nutty flavor, is quick and easy to work
with and is now readily and inexpensively available in grocery and
health food stores. And because it comes in so many different forms
-- like puffed, rolled, as a flour or whole (seeds) -- it lends
itself to a myriad of recipe ideas. Camilla, with her degree in
food studies, has created mouthwatering quinoa recipes suitable for
every meal and occasion -- these excellent recipes are sure to
become a mainstay in home kitchens.
Get your breakfast off to an excellent start with either Quinoa
Granola, Chorizo-Quinoa Hash Browns or a Quick Quinoa Breakfast
