17. Quinoa

Over the past several years, nutritionists and health fanatics alike have been raving about quinoa—and for good reason. This superfood is a pseudocereal with a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Plus, it’s gluten-free, so just about anyone can enjoy it.

Use quinoa to thicken soups, add flavor depth to salads, or as a simple, crunchy snack. Regardless of how you enjoy quinoa, you’ll still increase your fiber intake by a noticeable amount. A cup of cooked quinoa contains five grams.
