Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Quinoa is high in protein and contains more nutrients and vitamins than any other grain — I'm talking B6, thiamin, potassium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and more. Quinoa has antioxidants, too! The best part of quinoa, for me, is that it takes on the flavor of other items it's being cooked with. That's why this Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Recipe is perfect – lots of fresh onions and garlic, plus tomato sauce to give it a nice boost of flavor.

Quinoa is a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, and contains almost twice as much fiber as other grains. We use quinoa in many of our recipes, in place of noodles or rice, because of the amazing health benefits and versatility it offers.
