Re: Question

There are also a few other grains that Chris did not mention. Quinoa (which is considered a grain, but is actually a seed) is a great source of protein. Rather than lecturing you about it, I found a link if you would like to read about it:

I usually sautee some vegetables in olive oil and put them on top of some cooked quinoa. Also, there is a company that makes quinoa and corn noodles, which are very good. They are wheat and gluten free also.

The next grain is millet, which is also a good source of protein and B vitamins.

You can also browse that website, it has a lot of good info on it about foods.

And if anyone has low iron levels, Teff is an excellent way to boost your iron. It's a grain that is used widely in ethiopia. I boil a cup or so in water and add cinnamon and other sipces to it. It makes a nice cereal in the morning.
