Great article and thanks for the recipe! My husband is on a gluten free diet and we eat quinoa frequently. You can make salads from it or serve it hot as a pilaf.

You are right. It is so versatile.

I eat it almost everyday for breakfast. I cook up a batch and store in the fridge. Every morning I scoop out a serving, pour some almond milk on top and heat it in the microwave. I top it off with some toasted pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie spice.

Sheree, this is a great article. My daughter needs to stay away from gluten as much as possible. I emailed your article to her. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I hope your daughter enjoys quinoa as much as I do. Tell her to try the different varieties too. I especially like the black quinoa and red quinoa.
