This week I'm on to drying spinach, broccoli, and some more carrots. I've had my dehydrator for a couple years now but didn't realize what an important appliance it was until now. I'm using it almost every day, getting my food storage built up with foods I never thought would be a part of my food storage collection.
I found a great site I wanted to share with everyone which I have a new favorite recipe from it's 101cookbooks.com . It's a recipe collection, full of natural and healthy recipes from a woman named Heidi Swanson. Here's my favorite Quinoa recipe thus far.
Look at all the healthy benefits of Quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah"):
"Quinoa's protein content is very high (12%–18%).Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. Because of all these characteristics, quinoa is being considered a possible crop in NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration manned spaceflights." (Taken from wikipedia)
Quinoa has such a light nutty flavor and should be (easily) eaten more often! ... Not to mention that it is a great food storage product.
