Take a Whole Grain Poetry Break
We’ve been getting some pretty fantastic entries for the “I Love My Whole Grains” Photo Contest (as you can see from above) but we’ve only gotten one poem! Grab your favorite shades, black turtleneck and bongos and prepare to be blown away:
Quinoa: the “Mother Grain”
Quinoa, quinoa, my favorite whole grain
Boiled or toasted seasoned or plain
High in protein, gluten-free
Rich in iron and vitamin B
Full of fiber and a nutty flavor
Easy to cook and a pleasure to savor
Overshadowed by couscous, barley and rice
The less popular quinoa is twice as nice
It’s fluffy and versatile; add veggies or beans
Or make pudding, cold salads…nearly any cuisine
I could eat it daily, again and again
This healthful quinoa, the “mother grain”
