Quinoa and Black Bean Salad, A Dinner of Gold!

 

Quinoa is the “newest” ancient super-grain on the health scene and VitaClay makes cooking Quinoa easy! Once renowned as “the gold of the Incas,” quinoa has long been recognized for its nutritious properties. The Incans of South America regarded it as the mother of all grains, and used it in sacred rituals.

Quinoa is rich in amino acids and contains a complete protein, making it a perfect addition to a vegan lifestyle. Gluten-free, it is also a boon to those with food allergies. An excellent source of protein, iron, calcium, potassium and copper, it is a great way to give your body access to nutrients that can be difficult to absorb from other foods. It is also high in fiber and a recommended addition to a healthy diet.
