As leaders, we were required not only to learn the new programs, but to really "live" the program for two weeks. Quinoa was obviously a great discovery for me and has become a staple during my house. What you will like about quinoa about the nutritional side of things is that it is often a complete protein, though it looks, tastes and cooks being a grain. A wonderful food for vegetarians, without a doubt. A quirky fact about quinoa: it really is technically a seed, and is also related to spinach, chard, and beets. Definitely appealing nutritionally.
