Quinoa (keen-wa) has so much going for it! It's healthy, contains more high quality protein than any other grain. In fact it provides all the essential amino acids. It's gluten free and its light & easy to digest. It's also quick & easy to prepare. But most of all it's yummy!

This sounds so good. I need to buy some quinoa so I can try it. Is there anything in particular I should look for when I'm picking it out? Do I need to go by a hippie store, or can I just pop into Publix and grab some off the shelf?
To tell you the truth, this is pretty new to me too. I happened upon a box while browsing the Publix green isle right by the pasta. So if you find any other brands or if there's better brands available please let me know.
