Hi Nancy – Have you ever tried making quinoa as a sort of porridge in

the morning, instead of oatmeal? You can flavor it the same as oatmeal, but it’s

NOT a grain (most websites and even vegan cookbooks mistakenly identify it as a

grain, but it’s not). Because it’s actually the fruiting body of

the plant, it has a much higher protein content and MUCH higher mineral loading

than a typical grain. That’s why it’s recommended for dieting.

Little or no glycemic response and it helps jump start the metabolism. Regards, Anne-Marie

 

You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.

Quinoa, like millet, is a seed. Because of the type of seeds they are

(seeds from grassy plants) quinoa and millet are a type of grain

(unlike other edible seeds such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds

which are not grains.)

 

The official definition of " grain " is " the small, hard, fruits or

seeds of arable crops. Commonly grasses (see caryopsis, Cereals). "
