Quinoa is an excellent plant-based, gluten-free alternative to your regular starchy grains. It is one of the few plant foods that contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete source of protein ideal for muscle growth, recovery, brain function, and overall health. With 8g of quality protein per cup, quinoa is a popular protein source among the vegetarian and vegan community. Quinoa may also be beneficial for digestive health as it has roughly double the amount of fiber compared to most grains.
Although technically a seed, quinoa has grain-like consistency and a fluffy texture similar to couscous. The "grains" cook up like rice and has a mild, nutty flavor.
