Quinoa is a wonderful and versatile grain. You can create dishes using quinoa for every meal, including the most important meal of the day: breakfast.

Quinoa is a great addition to a diabetic diet.- it is low on the glycemic index and is high in protein and fiber. These nutrients are very important in keeping blood sugar under control. Quinoa is also gluten free, and did you know a cup of quinoa has more calcium than a quart of milk?
