    Tried quinoa for the first time last week-taste wise I don't think it's a million miles away from cous cous, but nutritionally speaking, is there much difference?


    Just curious really....:P

    Quinoa would be a far better choice from a nutrition point of view. Lower GI, higher fibre content, higher protein content and a more complete protein profile.

    It is slightly higher in calories due to the fat content.
