The Health-Nut Side, with Quinoa in the middle!

ATTENTION MOMS: Quinoa is something you might want to introduce to your children. It’s a grain that tastes like rice, and is very healthy for your kid’s diets!

Quinoa contains no gluten and no wheat.  Quinoa is an ancient grain of the Americas dating back to the Aztec Indians, and now found in abundance in Bolivia and Peru.

One of the world’s true super foods, quinoa is a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. Quinoa is also a great source of fiber, iron and magnesium.  Quinoa comes close to achieving a perfect balance of essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein.  Its protein content is far higher than rice, corn, barley, and is high in lysine, an important amino acid that falls short in other grains and soybeans.

Quinoa has been referred to as the best source of protein in the vegetable kingdom and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
