Quinoa is often touted as one of the "Superfoods". It is very nutritious. Its protein content is very high and unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source.

It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron as well. Quinoa is also gluten-free and easy to digest. All we know is that we love quinoa and think you will too. So give this salad a try - you'll be glad you did!
