Quinoa is a good source of iron and high quality protein. Try it in any recipe calling for whole grains. Quinoa, native to South America, is a "pseudo-grain"—actually a gluten-free seed, but used in cooking like a whole grain. This amazing plant was domesticated thousands of years ago near Lake Titicaca, high on the plateaus of the Andes, and it was a mainstay in the diet of the ancient Incas. Quinoa is delicious on its own and in pilafs, soups and salads. Our quinoa has been thoroughly rinsed and air dried to remove the naturally occurring bitter saponins.
