Quinoa
What: A type of grain from the goosefoot species.
Why we love it: It's high in protein (all 9 amino acids included) and gluten-free (technically, a seed) with a massive amount of antioxidants and heart-healthy fats. The superfood is also rich in zinc, calcium, and potassium and boasts an impressive level of biodiversity.
How to eat it: Boiled (like rice). There are many a Pinterest recipe suggesting a variety of preparations including breakfast cereal, pudding, and pancakes. We prefer it tossed into a salad, like the mango-blueberry recipe pictured. Try
Le Charlot on the Upper East Side for the best lobster quinoa salad in New York, garnished with grapefruit and mango.
Celebrity fans: Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston, Madonna.
