I love eating quinoa for breakfast. Quinoa is good for your food and a staple in my kitchen. Did you know that quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat? It is a complete protein because it includes all nine essential amino acids (the Word’s Healthiest Foods).
Quinoa:
- Promotes energy production
- Promotes heart health
- Promotes optimal health
