Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

Quinoa has greater amounts of both lysine and isoleucine (especially lysine), and these greater amounts allow the protein in quinoa to serve as a complete protein source. It is gluten free which aids patient suffering from celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Mushrooms provide you with lean proteins since they have no cholesterol or fat and are very low carbohydrates.
