Quinoa- Basic

This #ancientgrain is getting more famous by the minute, even though that is called an “ancient grain’, it is actually a seed. We love working with #Quinoa because it’s super versatile and easy to prepare. This cute little seed is a powerhouse of nutrition, giving you tons of antioxidants, minerals, and a great source of #plantbasedprotein .⁠
