I may look like spaghettiO’s but I am anything but – Quinoa

What is Quinoa?  (You pronounce it like saying Quinoa What? Quin KEEN-WAH.)

When it comes to food, you may know what SpaghettOs are but what is Quinoa? Quinoa is a seed a product made by nature.  You eat it like a grain or a cereal but it is a seed.  Quinoa may just be as close to a perfect food source in the balance of nutrition it provides.  It may just be one of the best food replacements for the high processed cereal grains, pasta, rice and wheat. It can replace empty carbs and empty calories with complete proteins and be 100% natural.  Your body can only digest natural nutrients the rest it converts to sugar. If it grows in the dirt I call it a good carb, if it is created in the lab I call it a bad carb.  In case it didn’t get it Quinoa grows in the ground, SpaghettOs was created by man.

Quinoa can proudly wear the label 100% Natural and SpaghettOs can wear the label “READY IN 3 MINUTES!”
