Our friends at I Heart Keenwah offer a variety of versatile quinoa products, including an amazing Toasted Quinoa. We sent them our jackfruit gluten-free Shredded Chicken, and they combined it with their Toasted Quinoa to create these beautiful Vietnamese Summer Rolls. Enjoy the recipe, and check out their website to learn about their other quinoa products.
