Pronounced “keenwa”, this ancient whole grain is a little higher in calories at 180 calories per quarter cup, however, it’s extremely nutritionally dense. Eden organic quinoa is very high in protein (12%–18%), making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source. Cooks in just 12 minutes and packaged in a resealable pouch. Try seasoning it with lemon, pepper, garlic or basil for added flavor.
*Interesting note: The Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) of the United Nations rated the nutritional quality of quinoa’s protein similar to casein (milk protein).
