This week we've got the battle of the grains - brown rice or quinoa, which is the best choice for your dinner plate?
The Verdict
First things first, as always both are great choices when it comes to healthy eating.

When it comes to cost brown rice wins hands down at £1.75 per kg compared to a wallet busting £7.34 per kg for quinoa. So is the extra protein really worth the extra cost? We're undecided!
