Over the past few years, quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) has experienced something of a public relations boom. You have likely heard it described as a "superfood." It is extremely versatile, and the entire plant has many uses. It bears striking flowers, the young leaves can be eaten cooked or raw, and the seeds are used just like regular grains to make everything from flour to alcohol.
Its health benefits, which have been recognized for centuries by those in regions where the crop is grown, have only recently garnered media attention. The grain has quickly become popular worldwide among health-conscious eaters for its various purported and proven benefits. This book will give you an overview of what quinoa is and 11 healthy, quick & easy recipes that you can try right away.
