What is Quinoa?

Quinoa is the best rated grain for bodybuilding, even better than brown rice. Technically, it isn't a grain, it is a seed from the Goosefoot plant (related to spinach). It is considered a psuedograin because it can be ground into flour, and it physically resembles grain.

Quinoa is rated highly for bodybuilders because unlike most grains, it cotains lysine, one of the essential amino acids, which makes it a "complete protein" source. it also contains magnesuim, potassuim and folate, all minerals that are important to muscle growth.
