Quinoa is also nutrient packed offering plenty of manganese, magnesium, folate and iron.

Quinoa makes a nutritious hot breakfast cereal, just top with fresh fruit: add veggies, nuts and broth to make a yummy pilaf or add crunchy diced vegetables and fresh herbs for a delicious salad.

To prepare quinoa bring two parts water to a boil add one part quinoa, lower to a simmer, cover and cook for 14- 18 minutes.
