Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah)
Keeeeeen-wah! This super grain sure does pack a nutritious punch. Quinoa is a super whole grain packed with protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus AND has enough amino acids to be considered a complete protein. Whole grains in general are an excellent source of nutrition, as they contain essential enzymes, iron, dietary fiber, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins and because the body absorbs complex grains slowly, they provide sustained, high-quality energy.
