Quinoa is an ancient grain, and a unique one at that; it is the only grain that is also a complete protein. To be a complete protein a food must contain all nine essential amino acids.  One-quarter cup of dry quinoa contains about 31 grams of carbohydrate and 7 grams of protein. For comparison purposes, a 1-ounce portion of meat has 7 grams protein. Try out this recipe for Sausage-and-Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini for a carb- and protein-balanced start to your next meal.
