Quinoa

Yesterday I decided to buy some quinoa and check it out. My goal is raw, but I was eager to try it and saw that it was similar to brown rice. Plus I wasn't ready to spend the time to try to sprout it. I saw in someone else's blog that it took a good 48 hours to make! So I made it just like rice and it was AWESOME! I also read that it's a good source of complete protein which makes me happy because so many people ask where I get good complete protein from. Now from Quinoa! It tasted great. Actually pretty darn similar to brown rice, but better in a way. It's also pretty high in calories, but you only need a little bit with the rest of your meal to help you feel full. Which is just what I was looking for actually. When I take the time to sprout it I will let you know. Otherwise, I think I'll be eating it cooked for a small while.
