"I always buy quinoa in bulk from Costco (the Kirkland Organic variety). It is a staple in my house because it makes a great side dish for a variety of meals. It's easy to cook up (takes about 15 minutes), is full of health benefits (is considered a whole grain, is a complete protein, gluten-free, and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals). For my husband, who doesn't like brown rice, this makes a great substitute, and he loves it!" — Brittany Poulson, MDA, RDN, CD, CDE
"Quinoa and farro both provide an easy-to-prep high-fiber source of carbohydrates for my meals. These are easy-to-prep bases for healthy meals when time is tight. Sometimes I prep a batch of the cooked grain on a Sunday to scoop into my meals throughout the week." — Rachel Fine, MS, RD, owner of To the Pointe Nutrition
