My love of quinoa knows no bounds. It is my favourite grain. Please don’t tell my first love – rice. It came as a surprise to me because I really hated quinoa for a very long time. I was like what is this seedy nonsense getting stuck into my teeth.

Now.. I make it ALL THE TIME. In various ways. Multiple times a week and sometimes every day. 

I love Quinoa because is gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant based foods that contain all nine essential amino acids and you know that I am making a point of eating more plants. Quinoa is a seed, which is prepared and eaten similarly to a grain. The other thing I love about quinoa is that it takes on flavour realllllllly well. 

It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants. 

So here army fave ways to eat Quinoa..I have a feeling that I will be adding to this list forever.
