      <description><![CDATA[Hello Rachel, 
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get complete protein sources when following a plant-based diet. While the ones you mention in your comment may have a decent amount of protein, not all are complete proteins like quinoa, hemp seeds and chia seeds etc are. You can learn more about these seeds here: <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/chia/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/chia/</a> and <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/hemp-seeds/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/hemp-seeds/</a>

Have a healthy day]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wow! I did not know that of all grains, quinoa has the highest protein content-I thought that some varieties of oats or whet (eg high specific breeds) were higher. I don't mean to be hyper critical here but many influencers and websites advertise quinoa as a plant-based protein but it is not such a great protein source in reality: at 6g protein/160 calories, it is far behind legitimate plant-based proteins such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan, which have about 3x the protein for the sam number of calories! I just point this out since many new to a vegan or vegetarian diet struggle with it due to inadequate nutrition and so misleading information can contribute to this]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I've always been a fan of quinoa and knew that it was healthy to eat, but I had no idea just how healthy it actually is and how beneficial it is to ones diet. Great to learn that it can regulate blood sugar, has probiotic properties, has tons of protein, calcium and magnesium to name a few! I'm so happy that a food that I actually enjoy eating is also good for me as usually that is never the case!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My second favourite grain after basmati. I have been a huge Quinoa fan for years now. If you look in my pantry you will ALWAYS find some Quinoa. In our household, I make Quinoa at least 3-5 times a month. At first my husband wasn’t a fan. I had to get him to the Quinoa side. Nowadays, the way that I prepare it he LOVES IT. As a result, he loves it when I make him Quinoa for lunch and often he even enjoys it for dinner. I am very happy that everyone can now enjoy eating Quinoa together. I am looking forward to when I can feed our infant Quinoa. It is amazing that Quinoa can be used either in baking or cooking. Therefore, I say what are you waiting for? Give it a try! You won’t regret it.]]></description>
