Have You Had Your Quinoa Today?

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is one of Mother Nature’s  healthiest grains.  In fact, it provides “complete protein” containing all nine essential amino acids.  Quinoa spans across the health food board, supplying nutrition from meat lovers to vegans. This magical grain is well-equiped with such nutrients as magnesium, iron, copper, and phosphorus which help aid in the fight against migraines, headaches, and diabetes. Quinoa also benefits our cardiovascular health by relaxing blood vessels and decreasing rates of hypertension and heart arrhythmias, easing those who are concerned with atherosclerosis.  Antioxident protection also comes with the consumption of quinoa by protecting our red blood cells from free radicals caused by pollution and harmful sun rays. Quinoa has no taste but rather takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with. It can be served cold, warm, or hot and has a similar texture to that of rice.  Try some today and feel its amazing benefits!
