Quinoa Is Amazing: How to Cook Quinoa Properly

I love the light flavor of quinoa! It is easy to digest, and is not sticky or heavy like grains, making it a wonderful grain-like food for summer.

It is more than just a tasty food. Quinoa has many powerful health benefits:

1. Quinoa is a high quality protein food with the nine essential amino acids; the protein balance is similar to milk with 8 grams of protein per cup in each. This is great for vegetarians.
2. It is not fattening. Only 223 calories for 1 cup of cooked quinoa.
3. Smart Carb: It is a complex carbohydrate with a low glycemic index, so it won’t spike your blood sugar.
