If you’re not familiar with quinoa, the U.N. says this is the year to give it a try.  The organization has named 2013 International Year of Quinoa, saying it’s one of the most nutritious foods on the planet.

It’s high-protein, low-sugar, Gluten free and loaded with vitamins and minerals – even NASA is considering it for long-duration space flights.  Quinoa can be a bit pricey, but experts say the health benefits are worth their weight in gold.
