Quinoa is an excellent rice substitute that is high in protien and good for people with blood sugar problems. Does anyone know if it's available in Turkey. If so,is quinoa the usual name for it?

Well so far it's only you and me kiddo....want to trade how to prepare it tips? Have you had the red type? If you did, was there much of a taste difference?
Actually, I grow purple lambs quarter too. I haven't been harvesting the grain part though. My cats like the green parts of it and it's nice in salad.
In the link below they call it purple goose foot, but I know it as lambs quarter...it's a variety of amarath.

Ouh - I didn't know there were different types! I generally just eat mine warm for breakfast - like a kind of porridge

Hmm....I've never eaten it as porridge. I use it instead of rice and in anyplace I would have used rice. I'm stuffing zucchinni with it tonight.
Last night I sauted brussle sprouts, turnips and black eyed beans with garam masala and extra tumeric and chili power and lots of fresh garlic.
After that was done, it was placed in the center of a mound of quinoa.

Hmmm well I usually use cracked wheat, millet or bulgar wheat for salads and cous cous for hot dishes - but I will certainly try quinoa like this too

Me too, in the past, but as I've been researching GI GL index
quinoa came up as one of the best bargains in that area.

Well I know about its properties but after 2 years drinking wheatgrass and eating seaweed and being rather too concerned about healthy food, I decided that variety is the spice of life where healthy eating is concerned

Quoting catwoman: What the heck are you guys talking about... Is it the same as chipotle? |
catwoman, if you look at my first message in this thread, there is a link to exactly what quinoa is. It is NOT chipotle, which is a pepper.
Quinoa is a complete protien, gluten free and the glycimic load produced by eating quinoa is less than eating rice, or other grains, thus it is an excellent food for vegetarians, those on a gluten free diet or anyone having blood sugar problems.
The fact it is high in lysine makes it good for anyone having problems with herpes virus because the virus attaches itself to the lysine which is not beneficial for the virus.....so you see, it's a great food.
AEnigma eats it, as do I. Blood sugar seems to be a problem in Turkey. I know more than a few with the problem.
Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa quinoa is being considered as a possible crop in NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration manned spaceflights.[5]

Now about seaweed:
Since we found that free radicals are important in the apoptosis process in vitro, we tested the effect of free radical scavengers. Vitamin C provided in drinking water at 2 mg/ml for 10 days, protected the thymus from HU-induced involution. We also tested Dr. Ann Kennedy’s antioxidant-rich food supplement on HU- and radiation-induced lymphocyte loss. Mice fed this diet for 2 weeks were protected from lymphocyte deletion induced by radiation. Another promising countermeasure is seaweed polysaccharide extract. We tested a polysaccharide extract from the brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica (part of the Eastern diet for centuries), using a commercial product from NaturoDoc. When fed at 100 mg/mouse/day for 3 wk, this seaweed extract inhibited radiation-induced lymphocyte loss in the spleen. In collaboration with Dr. Marcelo Vazquez of Brookhaven National Laboratory, we investigated the long term effect of particle radiation on immune cells. At 6 month after various doses of particle radiation, few consistent cahnges were apparent in the populations of immune cells examined, except for a reduction in B cell numbers.

She was born July the 27th, 1969....but if she lasts, she will get to be 80, 90 or who knows? Let's see how we all end up at that age.
I was reading the biography of Freya Stark, who when she was in her late 90s said waiting for death is like going to the train station, bidding your friends goodbye, and then the train doesn't leave...

Quinoa has been found to insult Turkishness. Everyone knows that a proper Turkish meal includes rice. Any substitute is hearby concidered an insult to the very core of Turkishness....
