QUINOA is the winner this year.

| A beautiful field of Quinoa. |
This rice like grain is special because unlike all other grains, Quinoa has all 8 essential Amino Acids,
meaning it is a complete protein, like animal proteins.
A 1/2 cup of quinoa has 12 grams protein, compared to rice, which has only 2 grams protein.
Quinoa is a super-food!
Just made a dish using Quinoa and leftover chicken, sauted garlic, added chicken stock, peas, roasted peppers, like a paella, the Spanish rice dish, and it is delicious and very nutritious.
Quinoa, like pasta, can be served hot or in the summer, cold, with lots of roasted garden veggies on top.
