Smart Substitution Suggestions
While quinoa is healthy, switching to wild rice or farro increases the variety of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium.
If digestion is an issue, shallots or the green tops of green onions provide a milder flavor profile that is often easier on the stomach during midday meals.
