Quinoa is just amazing. It’s considered a complete protein and it’s naturally gluten free. It also contains B-vitamins, vitamin E, calcium, fiber and is a source of magnesium and iron. You can use quinoa for all sorts of dishes. Warm, cold, burgers, salads etc. So apart from that it’s tasty and you can make so many different dishes with it, it is also super healthy.
