#protein,
I made Quinoa upma, because I ready
½ cup serving of dry quinoa has approximately 11 grams of protein . When cooked, one cup of quinoa is about 254 calories and has almost 9 grams of protein. Quinoa is one of the few grains that is a complete protein.This quinoa upma is very easy and quick to make just like any other upma. Quinoa Upma is a simple and quick preparation of Quinoa that is flavored with Indian spices and packed with vegetables
