Thus, when compared to most grains and cereals, quinoa trumps as health queen, and it’s slowly but surely becoming the new granola, rice, and even pasta.

But this creamy, nutty deliciousness is not only full of plant-based protein, it’s also rich in manganese, heart healthy fats and essential fatty acids, vitamin E, tryptophan, magnesium, folate, phosphorus, and loads of antioxidant phytonutrients.
