Quinoa You Gotta Try It!


Good Morning,
Here is a favorite food that I love to share with my friends, loved ones and clients as a Holistic Health Counselor.

Quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) was a principal grain of the Incas, given sacred status as a “mother grain” and thus targeted by Spanish colonization tactics. For 400years it survived only in remote, inaccessible areas of the high plains in the Andes.

Quinoa is a real superfood that will give you lots of sustained energy because it is a complex carbohydrate and a complete protein(one of the few vegetarian sources). It is chock full of calcium (has more than milk), trace minerals, and essential fatty acids!

Quinoa is gluten-free – valuable for those with wheat allergies. You can buy quinoa at your local health food store tour. ENJOY!

In vibrant health,
