Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Sam, I use quinoa quite alot in my cooking. It is an ancient grain from Peru, and can be found in most health food stores and the specialty areas of most grocery stores. It is a complete protein, about 13% protein. I use it because I must maintain a gluten-free diet. It can be used much like oatmeal, is similar to millet, but can be used in quite a variety of ways. It can be found as a flour or as a whole grain. Quinoa seeds are naturally coated with a bitter-tasting saponin that protects it from birds and insects, and is not removed in processing, so must be washed before cooking to remove the bitter taste. But after cooking it has a rather sweet nutty flavor. Look it up on the internet and you can find all sorts of recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
