Technically a seed, Amaranth is worth a try.  It is related to spinach and Swiss chard, so it is packed with antioxidants and just like Quinoa it packs all the amino acids so it is also a great complete protein choice.  With either Amaranth or Quinoa you are meeting both your protein and carbohydrate needs as well as packing in great sources of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and fiber.
