Cool food for carb lovers
I like my carbs, I think alot of us do. This is my newest discovery on what I think is a pretty WLS friendly carb source.
Quinoa.
http://www.quinoa.net/
If you've never tried it or heard of it, it's alot like couscous in texture and absolutely tasty
It's also fairly high in protein (for a grain)
Very very easy on the pouch too.
Just something new to try, especially if you are a rice lover.

Christopher,
My sister (an Organic Fanatic Ex-Vegan) who has a ranch in South Texas,
Uses this stuff to make Tabooli, just a Tex-Mex Version without the mint and basil
But with Jalepenos, Chilies and Cumin instead.
It's darn tasty!!!
I didn't know, but suspected, it must be 'Very Good For You.'
She's a Major Nutrition Geek.
I'll have to ask where she buys hers....
I think it's just from a grocery store, not the web.
Best Wishes-
Dx
Christopher, Been using these products many years being allergic to rice I tried the couscous and love it...Then I gave up carbs but miss my pasta so I had to find Gluten Free pasta, well gluten free everything as much as possible, its a real feat but their pasta is very tasty and texture is very nice.
