Quinoa is the cool new grain in town, or is it? It’s actually NOT a grain, but a seed harvested from a plant called goosefoot. It’s more close to spinach, than to rice, but many people think it’s a grain because when it’s cooked just like rice. It’s  a super food because it’s low in fat, rich in fiber and has proteins like zinc, folate, potassium, plus it’s gluten-free. It might feel funny in your mouth when you first try it because of its rich texture, but it’s pretty delicious and easy to make.
