Quin what?

I was watching the health segment on the Today show the other day and they were talking about a new "healthier" alternative called quinoa. I have never heard of it before that day. By the luck of the draw last time I went shopping I walked passed it and decided to try a bag. This morning I cooked up some per the directions on the bag to give it a shot. Plain, quinoa doesn't really have much of a flavor. It's definitely a texture thing. I love trying new and unusual things so this is a piece of cake but for others it may be too much.... When you eat a bite of these little seed like things they snap in your mouth kinda like the snap of fish eggs in-between your teeth. I added about 1/8th of a teaspoon of brown sugar and about a tablespoon of vanilla soy milk to it to eat it like a breakfast cereal. I enjoy it. Quinoa is a healthy alternative winner!
