White quinoa is delicious, i saute garlic/ onions thinly sliced broccoli then mix it with cooked seasoned quinoa. Serve with Indian Pickle sour mango. 🤤
Thank you for this info. I knew quinoa was nutritious but I didn't know just how nutritious. I make tabouli salad, substituting quinoa for the bulger wheat. Much better for my diabetes and I like the texture better too. For those who don't know, tabouli is a salad made with parsley, tomato and onion dressed with a little olive oil and lemon juice. I like to make a low carb wrap with it, with hummus, vegetable slaw and cheese, A healthy, delicious, light lunch with a piece of fruit for dessert.
I'm not a big fan of quinoa, preferring to substitute barley or bulgur for rice, but you make it sound so healthy that I'll give it another chance, especially if I can find some black, or maybe red, quinoa. The paler quinoa is not very appetizing to me. I don't know why.
Wow, thanks for this great reminder. I've had quinoa sat in the cupboard for months and cooked some today, then researched its nutritional value. After your video I'll never forget about it again. Its definitely going to be my rice substitute from now on!
I eat high fiber rice, quinoa, bulgur, buckwheat, sweet potato, and breads for carbs, of course, in controlled portions. I also eat vegetables every meal to increase my fiber intake. I eat the vegetables first before the grains or bread. For breads, I choose the ones with higher fiber and less sugar.
We are trying to grow quinoa this year. The grasshoppers have been eating if(darn). We are using quinoa in our diet now. There are so many ways to use it. Quinoa leaves are edible, too. It is best if they are young smaller leaves. We are going to the Quinoa festival in Panguitch, Utah on September 17!
@@mariateresamondragon5850 grasshoppers ate the first ones we planted, we grew sone seedlings under lights and transplanted them- tgey did well. We live where there is a lot of wind so we will grow a shorter variety next year.
@@mariateresamondragon5850 they need frequent shallow watering until they flower, then they don’t need much water. They like cooler weather, won’t set seeds when it’s gets above 90 degrees.
The thing I find with Quinoa is it has a tendency to spike my blood sugar, I had it for dinner two day ago with ACV and did resistance exercise after dinner, my blood test was 8.2 mmol/l which is about 142 mg/dl, this is exceptionally high for me. If I had Bulgar wheat I will probably be in the safer region well below 7.8 mmol/l (140) without any post meal activities. Cook and cool for better blood results folks.

I have been watching your programs for several weeks now and your nutritional education is very much appreciated and I have put it into use. Thank you very much and I do hope that I will be able to order some of your products as I mentioned in my previous comment.

Hello Doctor. Is it okay to eat Quinoa with insulin resistance as long as the portion is moderate? I have PCOS and some people are even saying to eliminate Quinoa and I don’t really want to do that.
@sadjiraigirl Yes, you can eat quinoa in moderation, despite insulin resistance. It is a healthy, complex carb that won't spike your blood sugar. It's all about balance and portion control!
Great informative video. Noticed a recipe last week that used quiona to make a tortilla/wrap that could be used for many things. Have not tried to make it yet.
