Quinoa

I've been hearing about quinoa for some time and tried it at a buffet once but was not crazy about the experience. Well, I guess I have to decide to like it because it's so good for you. Check out this article from Men's Health.

"'Quinoa is a true wonder food,' says Daniel Fairbanks, Ph.D., a professor of plant and animal science at Brigham Young University. 'It has about twice the protein of regular cereal grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even a dose of healthy fats.' Plus, it's considered a 'complete' protein, which means that, like meat, eggs, and dairy, it packs all of the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle."
