With a high fiber and protein content, rich in omega acids, helps control cholesterol, and in pure form is gluten-free, quinoa is without a doubt the “superfood” of choice these days.
Easy to make, eaten hot or cold, quinoa combines perfectly with fresh vegetables. In this recipe we make a pesto quinoa salad using raw vegetables and our delicious organic, gluten-free Sun-Dried tomato pesto rosso.
