Quinoa Cereal: The Ultimate Breakfast
Quinoa can be a grain having a long history. It is now growing in popularity, but since many people are not so familiar with it, there tends to be confusion about how exactly to use it. Cooking quinoa just isn't much different from cooking rice. Quinoa absorbs the liquid much like rice and expands. One cup of quinoa will expand to a few cups of cooked food.
Quinoa isn't a new miracle discovery. In fact many experts have a staple crop of the indigenous peoples from the Andes Mountains more than 6000 years. The Incas referred to it as the "mother grain" and used it in religious rites. Quinoa isn't an authentic grain, its a seed. The quinoa plant is related to spinach, swiss chard and beets. The seed has many of the properties present in grains.

Secret 4 - There are different types
When I grew some quinoa during my garden last year I was amazed at the number of varieties in the seed catalogue. There are also at the very least 3 different colours. The most common is white quinoa (More a cream colour). You can also have black quinoa and red quinoa. The variety I grew was called rainbow and would have been a mix of browns, reds and blacks. The different varieties also provide different amounts of oils included and some tend to be more crunchy than other.
Red Quinoa is slightly crunchier and smells of earthier, nuttier aromas. Excellent as a stuffing for cold salad base, it pairs beautifully with all kinds of vegetables, onion, garlic or nuts. Red quinoa will attract foodies and them interested using its flavor, high protein content and satisfied but with no full feeling it leaves together. This one is also great for soups and stews.
