Quinoa. Sacred to the Incas, consumed by mankind for over 6,000 years, and so packed with nutritional value that it is being considered by NASA as a possible crop to grow in space! Talk about a survivor and adaptor.

And that's just what it is. Quinoa is an amazingly adaptable addition to the pantry and can be substituted in recipes calling for cooked couscous, rice or other small grains. Try it in cold grain salads, as an addition to hearty soups, and as a substitute for the traditional "bed of rice" where it will soak up sauces and flavors like a culinary sponge.

What do you use it for in the kitchen? Let us know.

  • I am a Native American. I eat as much Quinoa as as an Asian eats rice after hearing it was a Native American foof.

  • Infomercial 1-0h Noooo-1

  • This idiot knows nothing he is the worst

  • @YeniZakirah

    It's actually "keen-wa". Google it.

  • its pronounced KEY-NO-AH

    not KIN-OOH-AH

  • Eesh... asparagus went in way too early...unless you want mush.

  • excellent recipe, thank you! I used what I had at home last night which means some chopped fresh sage instead of the onion, and it was delicious. the sage really compliments well the garlic, peas, asparagus and chicken.

  • A great idea. I would add some chopped red peppers for extra color. All your veggies are green so red would spice it up a bit.

    

  • Grain????? Errrr.....It's actually a seed...

  • @conguera according to Merriam-Webster, the primary pronunciation is with two syllables with the accent on the first (English pronunciation: /ˈkiːnwɑː/) (KEEN-wah). It may also be pronounced with three syllables, with the stress on either the first syllable (/ˈkiːnoʊ.ə/ KEE-noe-ə) or on the second (/kwɨˈnoʊ.ə/ kwi-NOE-ə).

    Just ran across this...

    Evidently either way is correct.

    I was thinking about trying it...what does it taste like?
