Nutritional Choice of the Month - May 2011:
“Quinoa”

Originally popular with the Incas, Quinoa (pronounced “Keen-wah”) is a plant-based complete protein that can be used instead of rice as a side dish.  Each 220-calorie cup is packed with 5 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein, and 15% of a day’s iron.  For specific recipes using this delicious grain, check out the following links:
