Quinoa good for you?

I read an article really touting Quinoa as a food and was wondering if it was available locally anywhere I cannot say I have seen it however never knew about it until today. Anyone had it?

We stock quinoa along with several other grains if you are interested.

Okay I know this is blasphemy for not having been to your fine establishment from what I have heard but where is Nuts N Stuff

Shiraz has it as a great side dish. It's so yummo and good for you. A lot of people think it's a grain, but it's actually a seed. The Incans were growing it 6000 years ago. I did a little research for an article I wrote for LEO last year. This weblink is a good place to get some info.

Here is a broader search.

You can find it at Whole Foods and Wild Oats.

I like it in a salad with fresh fruit, lime juice, and a bit of olive oil. With ripe mangoes, it's unbelievable.

Nuts N Stuff, a fine purveyor of coffee, teas, candies, spices, nuts, grains and flours is on Preston, practically across the street from Aldi which is practically next door to Value City, north of Eastern Parkway. Hope that makes some sense. You know how we Louisvillains are about giving directions . . .

At least you gave places that exist. I love the ones from 50-100 years ago. They rule.

Well you take the jefferson freeway past where the old sears use to be and it is roughly next to the old oak that use to mark farmer johnsons property line

I know EXACTLY where that spot is located. My dad would take us there on Saturday mornings and we'd have a grand time.

On the old forum, I posted a link to the old Louisville Hotel that existed back before the Civil War.

It was located on the south side of 6th and Main. Robin eloquently described the location as such; In Louisville parlance, the Bristol-Downtown should properly be referred to as "The place where the Louisville Hotel used to be"?

kind of like how the Monkey Wrench is on Barett ave kitty corner to where Hasenours used to be?

Sorry to take us back to the quinoa topic (I am one of those Louisville natives who give directions by what is no longer there), but I'm such a fan! I use it in place of rice as a side dish and I just made a cold salad with olives, feta, etc. It was yummy. You can use it in just about any recipe that calls for rice or couscous.

It's so yummo and good for you.

Yummo?!!!! Does the R stand for Rachel!

what is the proper way to pronounce this? I've heard it said many ways.

I've heard people who should know pronounce it KEEN-wah and also KEEN-ah-wah. Following the vowel rule, I'd think the second is correct.
