Superfood Quinoa is Gluten- Free!

Who needs wheat, barley and rye when you can have quinoa! (pronounced KEEN-wah)
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. It is yummy and good for you.
