Rice with red quinoa rice cooker recipe.

Most of us are familiar with the nutritional properties of quinoa (gluten-free, high fiber, high protein, low glycemic index, etc.) Quinoa is in short, a supergrain. However, when it comes to texture and flavor, it can be an acquired taste, particularly for children and adults with timid palates.

A great way to introduce quinoa in your diet is by mixing it with rice (white or brown). The contrast of color is enticing and the mix of new and familiar textures is a feast to the palate. Serve with greens and your choice of protein for a meal that will not disappoint.
