  • Naturally, along with Bulgur and steel cut oats and some other great grains/foods, Quinoa is great. However, I WOULD SHY AWAY FROM CALLING ANYTHING A SUPER FOOD. Tonight (1Jan'11) they had on the national news (ABC, I believe) a story about ACAI, another so-called "super food." I think the conclusion applies here as well: "It's a F-O-O-D...NOT a drug!" Better than most, I might add, but not a "miracle drug."

  • @HyperHowie "Superfood" is an actual nutritional designation warranted by some healthy foods for life supporting elements (minerals, vitamins, etc). It's not a term someone 'just decides' to call a food. The Acai comparison/media hype you allude to (not explained in your comment) doesn't apply here. No one should compare foods to drugs, superfoods are far SUPERIOR to drugs anyways. Clearly, these videos do not claim quinoa to be a drug. It would be a foolish shame if anyone confuses the two.

  • 3/4 of a cup cooked or raw has 24 grams of protein?

  • @nyclear Raw, uncooked quinoa. One cup of fully cooked quinoa has 8-9grams of protein, a little more than an egg.

  • Daym, I'm having me some Quinoa tomorrow after this lol:).

    Inspiring:D

  • Great to hear Michael! Quinoa can definitely enhance everything you eat and improve your overall health! We love it too!

  • Almost 3 times its original volume? You arent giving quinoa quite enough credit there, because depending on how you prefer to cook it, quinoa can become up to 5 times original volume with the right amount of water, and it still has a nice texture this way. Great video anyway!

  • Not you, me - I need to lose thirty pounds....LMAO

  • I am so happy to find this video. My wife bought a bag of this a year ago and I just found it. I am researching and am totally looking forward to replacing my meat intake. I have been wanting to replace meat, but need the proteins, so this just might be the ticket! Thanks. Need to lose thirty pounds!

  • @escobartv I just had some quinoa that did impress me. Cook each cup of quinoa in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and only 1/2 cup water. Add 2 ounces of raw cheese. Bring to boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Then let stand on stove for 5 minutes. Holy molly was it good!!!!

  • awesome! Can;t wait for your book to come out. Already preordered!
