Your choices for whole grains don't start and stop with whole wheat and brown rice. There's a wide variety of whole grains to enjoy.
Quinoa has a nutty, delicious flavor and can be used in much the same way as rice. What's more, quinoa is jam-packed with nutrition. It's low in carbohydrates, contains healthy fats and is considered a complete protein (meaning it has all of the essential amino acids your body needs).
Enjoy quinoa as a sidedish, or incorporate it in any number of recipes just like you would with rice (just note that quinoa cooks up faster than brown rice). Try bell peppers stuffed with quinoa, try a twist on traditional rice pudding by using quinoa, enjoy it warm with fruit in lieu of oatmeal or add it to your favorite soup.
