Quinoa Avocado Bowl

March 22nd, 2018 | main dishes

In South America, quinoa, also called Inca rice, has been considered one of the most important staple foods for more than 5,000 years. In Europe, this grain has come in fashion only in recent years. Strictly speaking, it is no grain, but is botanically one of the goosefoot plants, is closely related to spinach, chard and beetroot. Anyway, in combination with avocado, cherry tomatoes and corn, we found quinoa very tasty, especially for the meatless days.
