QUINOA DINNER IDEAS
We love quinoa! This handy little grain can be used in so many ways. We stock it in several different forms: flour, whole grain, puffs, flakes – the list goes on!
These tiny grains are like tiny powerhouses of nutrition. They are high in protein and are a great source of fibre, iron, calcium and potassium. Compared to other carbohydrates they have a low glycemic index. This means that it doesn’t cause blood sugar level spikes!
We never run out of ways to use it, but if you need some dinner inspiration, check out our top ten quinoa dinner recipes!
