Quinoa is a versatile, complete protein whole grain i.e. it has all 9 essential amino acids necessary for human growth and development. Most other grains are deficient in 1 or more essential amino acids. Quinoa also contains more protein than any other grain. Quinoa is now widely known as one of the most complete natural foods on planet earth (contains a balanced profile of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients).
Health Benefits:

How to cook Quinoa:
The simplest way is to cook it like rice. Rinse the grains of Quinoa under running water using a strainer. Bring to a boil in a saucepan – 1 part grain, 2 parts water/stock and then reduce the heat to low, simmer for another 10-15min until quinoa has absorbed the water. Cooked quinoa can be added directly into cereals, soups, sauces, curries, etc.
