Eden, I knew I was using the incorrect language... I just didn't know how to say what I wanted to say, which is that quinoa does not have an many grams of protein as other proteins. But, it's still more protein than other grains. I do stand corrected, thank you.
Yeah, I buy washed quinoa. I have made the kind that's unwashed, and it's a pain. Those little grains get everywhere in the process! THe unwashed is SUPER bitter if you don't wash it.
