Moist quinoa bread
This moist quinoa bread is a good source of folate, iodine, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron. It’s perfect for breastfeeding women, as this can be part of a one-hand meal, prepared in advance. It stays fresh for several days and can be included in several meals throughout the day. This filling and tasty bread can be the base for many meals.
