If ever there were a true “superfood”, quinoa would be a top contender. Because not only is it incredibly versatile, but it’s incredibly nutritious!

Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids us humans need. This makes it a nutritious protein source, especially for vegans and vegetarians.

But it’s also extremely versatile, working well in almost any recipe where you would use couscous, rice, or bulgur. And in everything from breakfast to dinner, you’re about to learn just how versatile this ingredient is. Here are our favorite vegetarian quinoa recipes!
