500 Best Quinoa Recipes Using Nature's Superfood for Gluten-free Breakfasts, Mains, Desserts and More
- Hundreds of meal ideas for incorporating Quinoa - a vegetarian superfood which contains more protein than any other grain - into delicious gluten-free breakfasts, snacks, dinners and desserts.
By now you've probably heard and seen all the positive press about quinoa - it's now firmly established in the superfoods hall of fame. Not only is quinoa high in protein (more than any other grain) but the protein it supplies is complete protein, which means it includes all the essential amino acids. It's also an excellent source of magnesium, folate, phosphorus, iron and fibre so it's an ideal ingredient for vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians.
And because it's also gluten-free, it's a valuable ingredient for anyone affected by gluten intolerance. Quinoa naturally has a wonderful texture (reminiscent of couscous) and a delicious nutty flavour, is quick and easy to work with and is now readily and inexpensively available in grocery and health food stores. And because it comes in so many different forms - like puffed, rolled, as a flour or whole (seeds) - it lends itself to a myriad of recipe ideas.
