Quinoa

Pronounced KEEN-wash, this whole grain contains 5 grams of fiber

And 11 grams of protein per half  cup. Penn  state researchers   found  that  dieters

Who ate  whole-grains lost  twice as much  belly  fat  as those who  stuck   to  white-

Flour  products-even  though  they’d  consumed  the  same  number  of  calories.

 Quinoa's   nutty  flavor  and  crunchy-yet-chewy texture  are  likes  cross  between

Whole  wheat  couscous  and  short-grain-brown  rice.  Quinoa   is  gluten-free,easy

To  prepare  and  extremely   versatile.  You  can  use  Quinoa  anywhere  you’d

Typically  use  rice.  It’s  great  used  in  casseroles  and  stir  fry,  mixed  with  beans,

Or  simply  topped  with  tofu  and  vegetables. The  food  and  agriculture  organization

Of   the  united  nations  [faro]  has  officially  declared  that  the  year   2013  be  recognized 

As  ‘’the  international  year  of  the  Aquino’’. It has  now  been   singled  out   by  the 

OAF   as a  food   with  ‘’high  nutritive  value’’   and    impressive  biodiversity.
