Quinoa = Meat?!

Wise words of the day: A kiss is not a kiss without the heart!
Not many know what the quinoa (keen-wah) is...well I am here to educate you my kiddies! Quinoa is a grain that well know for its edible seeds. The nutrition in the quinoa is equivalent to dark green leafy veggies (spinach, tumbleweeds, etc.). It is considered a protein because it is full of amino acids, which is about 12-18% protein. Quinoa is also a good source of fiber, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. So for vegetarians like me or even vegans this is the answer to the lack of protein in our diet.
