Quinoa [KEEN-wah]

---

Packed with protein, loaded with fibre, quinoa is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet.

Quinoa has a nutty flavor, cooks up quicker than rice, and can be used to make pilafs, risottos, salads, soups, and even desserts. Typically, you can locate quinoa in the rice aisle or the health-food section of your grocery store.

As for preparation, the simplest way is to cook quinoa like pasta: fill a large pot or saucepan with water, and bring it to a boil. Add just about any amount of quinoa, turn the heat to low, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the water and allow the quinoa to cool.

Cook up a big batch and store it in Tupperware in your refrigerator, and you'll have a ready-to-eat side dish like rice or pasta that goes with just about any meal. (To warm, microwave it for 60 seconds.)
