Here’s a link to an awesome article in today’s online New York Times that espouses the many virtues of quinoa:

I’m personally a huge fan of quinoa and use it in place of cous cous, rice and other grains. It’s not the greatest plain, but add some lemon, salt and herbs to it and it’s pretty darn good.

Also, it’s a great substitute in Tabouleh, everyone’s favorite hippy food.

Rock on,

Laurel
