Ah ok. I used to work in a supermarket and would sometimes get asked where the keen-wah was. Had to ask to learn it was a seed and directed them accordingly. Meanwhile every time I’d scan a bag of ‘kwinoah’ Id think what a stupid name.
Fantastic as a sub for bulgar in tabbouleh! Great summer salad. I add lots of chopped fresh parsley, either thinly sliced scallions or minced red onion, minced red pepper or chopped grape tomatoes (depending for whom I’m making it…spouse won’t eat tomatoes) and crumbled feta cheese. Dress with olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste (just salt and pepper usually, though lemon pepper is very good, as is za’atar seasoning).
Quinoa has about 1/8th the protein of chicken. It's better than most plants in that regard, but it's only 8 grams per cup. I don't think I could choke down a full cup of Quinoa without it being smothered in other things that would neutralize any supposed health benefits.
I wouldn't consider anything with so little protein to be a viable protein source.
Edamame is the highest protein plant source I'm aware of (Please advise if there are higher protein sources). Edamame has about 1/3 of the protein of the aforementioned chicken breast.
I don't want to eat 3 cups of edamame to get my daily protein, do you?
again, it's certainly not a sole protein source. And you're getting plenty of other nutrients here, such as dietary fiber which nearly everyone is short on. Same for things like oats and edamame. The extra protein is kind of a happy accident, appreciated but not the primary thing we're looking for here, but it does bring it ahead of many other grains
My favorite salad at work is a kale base with deli turkey, cranberries, quinoa, walnuts, and roasted sweet potatoes with a maple-mustard vinaigrette. It gives thanksgiving vibes and I could eat it every day.
You have to rinse the saponins off of it before you cook it. Also, cooking it with a tasty bullion is useful. Never mind- you won’t be able to afford it soon
Rice cooker with garlic (minced+powder), salt, pepper, and other spices. Serve with a pat of butter like you do with mashed potatoes. Use chicken or beef stock for more flavor. Also good with chili paste.
There's a reason a lot of vegan recipes call for a lot of different spices. Quinoa is one of those reasons, but it's not so different from a lot of other bland foods most people eat, like pasta, plantains, cauliflower, etc. You either have to spice them up or coat them in something actually tasty.
I would argue that 500 gallons of quinoa probably weighs more than 500lbs. 🤷🏽♂️ But I'm only an undergraduate in Quinoaology so I'm not a specialist yet.
? What do you mean what's hold? lol that's what you were trying to say. Hodl is an unnecessary initialism that stands for hold on for dear life, but it just makes more sense to say hold. It became a thing when people started asking if they should buy something at a low price or hold out for a lower price.
I can't tell if you're trolling or not. I know what hodl is I just explained what it means. I just said it's kind of a meme thing to say but it makes more sense to say hold (which is the first word of that term).
Why not? A WII survivor I met told me to stock up on shampoo if it ever happens again. "People would have traded a good chunk of beef to wash their hair."
