howdy, found while surfing a food new to me. Quinoa...pronounced keen wa . told dh about it, checked online for a source nearby, emailed dd about it. dd has been eating it for a few yrs now and never told me about it. hrmph. well dh was out yesterday and passed a new to me healthfood shop and having time stopped in quickly to check if they sold it. they did, so he bought me about 1/2 kg. not much but he thot best to get a small amount to see how i liked it. i was so excited i tasted some straight out of the bag. i love buy'n in bulk and plain old brown paper bags, lol. i think i'll try making some tabouleh from it. i dont fancy replacing my scrummy oatmeal for breakfast with the quinoa tho. does anyone else here eat it? what are your favourite recipes? got any tips? this stuff is, according to the info i found online, the only non-meat complete protein food. it is also gluten free so good for anyone with gluten issues. i dont have gluten issues that i am aware of but thot i'd toss that in just for the info. off to surf for more recipes, jeanne
