Quinoa is an ancient grain that's actually a seed and considered the "gold of the Incas".

Not to mention how delicious it tastes and how versatile it is.
Also, we discovered a new company called Dragunara that makes delicious, salt-free, oil-free, and sugar-free seasonings. We use their "Slim Spice Seasoning" in this episode.
