Let’s start with the basics. What is Quinoa?
Quinoa is a plant more formally known as Chenopodium.
It is a
tall grain crop that is harvested for its edible seed.
The seed of the plant that we call Quinoa is packed full of health benefits.
Quinoa provides a high source of protein and riboflavin, which can help reduce headaches by

family it’s actually gluten free.

Here are a few other recipes I plan to try next.
