"the gold of the Incas"

Quinoa salad with cucumber, tomatoes, orange pepper, olive oil and cayenne pepper.

Wholegrains are high in energy-boosting B vitamins and manganese, as well as magnesium, which plays a critical role in muscle contractions and energy metabolism.

Quinoa (pronounced keenwa) is a South American grain that is becoming more widely available and contains all the essential amino acids. It is therefore a complete protein but is more easier to digest than meat protein and has far lower fat content than most meat.

I usually have it as a salad or as a breakfast porridge. They're absolutely wonderful.
