It’s easy to get into a routine with your food, especially if you are a busy person who doesn’t have a lot of time to cook. Well, just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s hard or time-consuming! When it comes to dinner, put your bland rice away and try one of these new grains instead. Diversify your diet and excite your palette easily and healthfully.
Quinoa
Although quinoa is very trendy, there are some great benefits to it. Technically it’s a seed, so the carb count is lower than other products, and it is full of protein and vitamins. It also only takes 20 minutes to make on the stove or in your rice cooker.
Couscous
This Middle Eastern grain is a fun way to spice up your regular dinner routine. There are two kinds, one that has very small grains, or the other that is called pearled, or Israeli couscous. Both of these kinds are easy to make by just adding the grains to boiling water and cooking for 10 minutes or less.

Bulgur
Bulgur is super high in Magnesium, vitamin B6, and protein. To cook it, you just need to combine it with cold water, bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes.
