140+ gluten-free recipes for adding quinoa to every meal and snack
Touted as "the gold of the Incas", quinoa (pronounced
keen-wah) has many health benefits. It is high in both protein
and fiber, gluten-free, and has been known to help those with
cardiovascular health problems, as well as people who suffer from
migraine headaches. Research also shows that the nutritional
composition of quinoa is important in fighting breast cancer,
especially in post-menopausal women. It is a great gluten alternative,
and provides complete protein in vegetarian or vegan dishes. Not only
does it have all of these phenomenal health qualities, quinoa is also
delicious and extremely versatile!
Quinoa can be made into a breakfast porridge, stuffed into a wrap for
lunch, combined with vegetables for a hearty salad, rolled with spices
and breadcrumbs to make a delicious burger, and added to an assortment
of cakes and breads for an extra protein punch. Cooking with Quinoa
for Dummies shows you how you can easily incorporate quinoa into each
and every one of your meals and snacks.
