Most (but not all) packaged quinoa has been rinsed to remove this coating. If your quinoa has not been pre-rinsed, simply rinse it under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Goji berries, also called wolfberries, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. They are an excellent source of antioxidants, beta carotene, iron and vitamin C. Quite versatile, quinoa can be cooked as a breakfast porridge, used in a stir-fry or added to soups and stews. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a seed that is cooked and eaten like a grain. It contains all of the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Quinoa is also a good source of fiber, B-vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium, tryptophan and selenium.
