At Wellness Cucina, I teach my clients to look for
the Whole Grain Stamp. Be sure to look for either
the 100% whole grain or 50%+ stamp to help
meet your three servings of whole grains a day.
I also encourage my clients to learn how to cook
these whole grains at home!
To start cooking whole grains check out the recipe

Quinoa Made Easy
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, uncooked, any color
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups water
½ tsp
Directions
Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under
cold water, rise thoroughly.
Turn heat under small sauce pan to medium high,
once hot, add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat
and then add the quinoa. Toast the quinoa in the
oil, about 1 minute, until it smells nutty.
Add the water and salt and cover. Bring to a boil,
and then turn it down to a simmer and allow the
quinoa to cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it stand
for 5 minutes, covered.
Uncover the quinoa and fluff it with a fork before
serving.
