I was in a waiting room recently and picked up a magazine which listed some super foods.

One was a bean or legume that they stated was a complete protien.

I should have written it down but didn't. It's probably available at health foods stores. It started with a Q. Anyone know what the name is?

Thanks

  1. Quinoa. It's a great grain. Tons of vitamins and minerals. It's really good for you.


  2. I'm not to sure of beans or legumes but there's an ancient grain called 'Quinoa' pronounced 'Keen-wa' that is very rich in protein.

  3. Quinoa?

    If I'm correct, it's not a bean or legume.

  4. Quinto Beans

  5. It was likely QUINOA (pronounced KEEN WA)  Quinoa is a complete source of protein, and is highly nutritious.  I grind whole quinoa (the red kind is my favorite) into flour to use for baking as a gluten free wheat substitute.  It can be cooked much like rice, and has a nice, nutty flavor.  It is considered a cereal grass seed, not a legume or bean though.  You can get it at most health food stores.
