This week, the Kitchn gets down with quinoa, an edible seed that's high in protein and prepared just like rice.

Also on the Kitchn, questionably safe Mexican vanilla, Ramadan foods, a brief primer on cow's milk, and a farewell summer poem.

  • Is Mexican Vanilla Safe to Use? Some has been banned in the U.S. for health reasons; some doesn't even contain actual vanilla beans (gasp!); and some is delicious.
  • Ramadan: When And What To Eat: Two main meals are served during Ramadan—the suhoor (before dawn) and the iftar (after sunset). Both involve fresh fruit, vegetables, halal meats, breads, cheeses, and sweets.
  • All About Cows: Everything you probably need to know on the mooo-ing animal's milk.
  • A Poem for the End of Summer: Poetry is good, and poetry referencing pears, apples, and grapefruit is even better.
