Wondering how to make quinoa taste amazing... this is it! Jazz it up with this easy, nutritious, & delicious recipe;) Quinoa is gluten-free and perfect for those with gluten intolerance. Quinoa is also very high in fiber. Top it off with some home-grown microgreens from Ingarden for an added nutritional benefit! 𝑱𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕-𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔!
