Hello, All! The little bit I know bout quinoa is that it is a grain. Dry quinoa feels like dry cream of wheat, and it expands while being gently cooked in water, like other grains do.
It has a lighter flavor than rice (I think so). I think I will try it for breakfast sometime, just with a little cinnamon and diabetic sweetner. It might be good that way. Tonight, I am having it in some vegetable soup, instead of meat. I am trying to change the way I eat; I got a serious wake-up call because of fast food. I don't want to end up in the E R, so must break my addiction. I am following Dr Joel Fuhrman's eating plan for diabetics now, so this is a big change. I should have done that when I first was diagnosed in 2015. No excuses, about the past of not checking this out or about now.
