What is Quinoa?
Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah or ke-NO-ah) is often described as a “superfood” or a “super-grain,” it is not a grain but a seed. It grows from a plant in the goosefoot family and is considered very healthy - it contains all nine essential amino acids and is a great source of protein. There are many types of quinoa available in the market, the most popular being creamy white, red, and black. They open up to release little white curls (like a tail) as they soften.
