Quinoa

Quinoa, one of the best plant-based sources of protein, is a great food to buy in bulk if it makes a regular appearance in your weekly meal plans. You can buy it from natural food stores with bulk bins of dried goods, get bulk bags of it from wholesale retailers or simply order it in larger quantities online. When sold in individual packages, quinoa can be significantly more expensive. Again, proper storage of quinoa bought in bulk (in airtight containers at normal room temperature) ensures a longer shelf life, ranging from 18 to 24 months.
