Healthy Eats: 10 Everyday Superfoods
Superfoods don’t have to be exotic or expensive — in fact, many are grown in Canada, easy on the budget and readily available at the grocery store. Here, some of our top choices.
Quinoa. Quinoa (pronounced “KEEN-wah”) is grown in Canada, and it’s as easy to cook up as rice. This ancient Incan staple has more protein than any other grain, not to mention higher levels of fibre, calcium, vitamin E, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. It has a balance of essential amino acids, and it’s gluten-free and easy to digest. (For more information, see FoodTV.ca.)
