THRIVE Quinoa is gluten-free and USDA-certified organic. It is unique because although it is typically considered a grain, it is actually closely related to leafy green spinach, making quinoa rich in both amino acids and protein. When cooked, quinoa can become a delicious hot cereal, pasta, or side dish.
