Quinoa is a little quirky, but I think I like it.
I tried quinoa for the first time
this week. I dropped in on one of my brothers, and he whipped up a wonderful
supper in his home. He cooked up some yummy baked tilapia, accompanied by
quinoa and fresh steamed spinach.
It was, without question, delicious.
But what in the world
is quinoa?
I had to ask. Quinoa is a
nutty-textured grain, and it’s super healthy. Gluten-free, quinoa contains tons
of protein, iron, and fiber.
Pronounced KEEN-WAH, quinoa is originally from Africa. Most
often, quinoa is boiled in a saucepan, sort of like whole-grain
rice. It soaks up the water and eventually softens a bit.
Then various
seasonings and toss-in vegetables (or even meat) may be added.
Quinoa is not a quick dish, but it’s pretty tasty, once
prepared. And it’s almost always organic.
