It is not rice but cooks up like rice. Make sense. If you do not know what this is or maybe you do here is what it is and why it is a fantastic carb (especially for me and my high blood sugar)
Quinoa is an annual seed-producing flowering plant grown as a grain crop. It is a pseudocereal, not a grass, unlike wheat and rice. It is botanically related to spinach. Quinoa seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and dietary minerals in amounts greater than in many grains. It is gluten-free. says Wikipedia
To cook quinoa place 1 /2 cup quinoa and 1 cup water in a pot and put to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Will look like this when it is cooked.
1 hard boiled egg chopped up (the other two are for me to eat with my morning breakfast)
cut up 2 stalks of celery and a couple of green onions and one carrot into small pieces
I put all the ingredients in a bowl with the cooked quinoa and chopped up egg, carrot, celery, green onions with Italian dressing, Just my preference of salad dressing. You can use something else.
