Quinoa is one of the healthiest foods around, and most weight watchers make it a part of their diet. But it’s not just the adults who can benefit from it; little babies can too! Quinoa has almost twice as much fiber as most grains, which means a smooth and easy digestion for your little one. It is also extremely rich in protein, which is crucial for proper development of growing babies. Besides these, Quinoa also has good quantities of iron, manganese, magnesium and other essential nutrients – it’s not called a supergrain for nothing! We’ve already featured a Quinoa Apple Porridge for kids, and now your baby can enjoy all these benefits with a yummy egg yolk quinoa stir fry recipe!
