Quinoa: Grain of the Gods???
Posted by ecobodhi on November 6, 2008
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,

I think it is important to note that quinoa is not a grain, but a seed.. Grains come from grasses; anyway, because of this it is gluten free.
And! Quinoa can be used to make yummy desserts too. Check out my recipe for raw vegan oatmeal cookies, which use quinoa as the base.
