• Never heard of quinoa? Crystal invites you to get to know one of her favorite ingredients. Although quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) has been around for centuries, it isn't a mainstream pantry item in American kitchens. It has a similar texture to that of couscous or rice, with a slight crunch and a somewhat nutty flavor when cooked. Quinoa is considered a super food because it contains more protein than any other grain, and this protein is complete, containing all nine essential amino acids. Look for quinoa at your local grocery. Your body will thank you for it.
