9Quinoa
Many people often think that quinoa is a grain. However, it is a type of seed or pseudocereal. One cup of cooked quinoa contains more than 8 grams of protein. In addition, it is high in other nutrients, such as zinc, iron, copper, folate, and fiber. Quinoa is a complete source of protein as it has all of the essential amino acids that the body cannot produce. This makes it a great food for those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. You can add quinoa to different recipes, such as porridges, soups, or grain bows. [9]
