Quinoa
We tried quinoa in our house the other day and we have mixed reviews. For those of you that have never heard of quinoa,it is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds, which some people use instead of rice. I personally didn't love the blah flavor or even worse, the texture. I think my mind couldn't get over that it looked like I was eating some type of fish egg or something, so that may have something to do with why didn't really like it. My husband thought it tastes a little bit like grits. And after adding sugar and milk he liked it a lot more. But as far as I'm concerned, I think we're going to stick to rice. All though quinoa is supposed to be really good for you. Maybe if I had a recipe for it that helped the taste and texture, we would try again. After all it wasn't horrible. Anyone have a recipe they could share, using quinoa???
