Re: Question about Quinoa

.

If I grind this red quinoa in my vitamix, is the flour better than regular

white flour (as a diabetic I mean). When I make my patties I only use one cup of

white (if I have it) or almond (if I have it).

Never thought of Quinoa. I wonder the glycemic index of this.

Thanks much

Melody
