I was watching Dr. Oz today, and one of the discussions was about extremely healthy grains. Super Grains.

Of course Quinoa made the list, but so did some I had never heard of. Teff is considered a complete protein grain. It is also completely tolerated by those with gluten intolerance. It is the smallest of all the grains and when cooked has about the texture of Farina.

Also mentioned as other "super grains" were Millet, Amaranth-an ancient grain.

I was suprised and happy to see that all these are for sale on the internet.

Thank you Lea R, hopefully Marianne B sees your posting, very helpful!

Interesting series, many proteins that many of us can try and enjoy. Some in Bolivia are making comments contrary to what was presented in Care2 about the problems for the poor purchasing quinoa in Bolivia and Peru taking issue with this oddly titled article. So many things to consider.

When making this choice, do so remembering the impact this trend is having on South American farmers and strive to buy it from someone growing it locally.

I want to like quinoa, I really do! I've tried four or five recipes for it, and while it tastes pretty good, the mouth-feel is like dirt. This, of course, makes me sad, because I want to eat healthy. Maybe in a soup? I haven't tried it that way, yet, and I'm a little afraid to...

I have not yet tried it, but I bought some and its sitting in the cupboard. I really didn't know what to/how to use it. That is until I sawthe Dr. Oz show today, he eats it just like he would oatmeal for breakfast. That is something I do and I could easily substitute quinoa for.
