If you’re like most, you’ve heard of quinoa but you weren’t quite sure what it was, how to cook with it, or how to pronounce it!
Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) looks like a grain but is actually a seed. It’s gluten-free, so it’s ideal for people with wheat allergies, and it’s light and fluffy—like rice or couscous.
When we asked for our readers’ best quinoa recipes for our 2019 recipe contest, we were impressed with the submissions that rolled in—over 100—that utilized this unique and healthy ingredient in both savory and sweet ways. These 3 recipes knocked it out of the park! We think you’ll enjoy them as much as we did.
