A nutty and gluten free grain that is packed with protein, magnesium, iron, zinc and omega 3; quinoa is a staple diet of our house. Quinoa is a key ingredient in many of my favorite recipes and I enjoy eating it for breakfast, lunch or dinner because of its versatile quality. Our favorite options with quinoa are stir-fry dishes, salads, burgers, and quinoa bowls. Quite often, we also use it as a substitute for white rice and combine it with lentils and vegetables within indian recipes.
