Quinoa! [keen-wah]

Quinoa is a pseudo grain, more so it is a seed! (That's likely why it is more expensive at the store than regular grains, it's actually not a grain at all.) It is harvested from a plant called goosefoot and is more related to beets or spinach than your typical grain. I like the nutty taste of quinoa and the fact that it contains COMPLETE protein (many plant proteins aren't), it also has a relatively low glycemic index score (but as with anything what you pair with your quinoa will ultimately determine how it impacts your blood sugar). Quinoa is also gluten free, which is great for people with gluten intolerance
