Quinoa
Quinoa (pronounced "KEEN-wah") is a grain that is considered a complete protein. Quinoa is an ancient grain from South America. It is becoming increasingly popular, in large part due to its excellent amino acid profile, making it a great addition to a vegetarian diet. It is also a recommended grain alternative for gluten-free diets. Try quinoa as a replacement for rice or couscous.
