It’s a super nutritious grain that’s a complete protein, like in an egg and also gluten-free, which makes it ideal for many diets, particularly vegan diets. When Christina cooks, she loves to cook with quinoa! You’ll find it featured in tons of her healthy cooking recipes, from Quirky Quinoa Salad to Quinoa and Bean Chili. Yum!
The Superfood You Know and Love
Christina’s interest in the relationship between health and food blossomed out of her experience with cancer.
