What is quinoa?!
Answers: Quinoa (pronounced /kw??no??/ or /?ki?no??/, Spanish quinua, quínoa, or quinoa) is a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium) grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal as it is not a grass. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.
Quinoa, pronounced keen-wah, is not a true cereal grain, but rather the botanical fruit of an herb plant. It is treated as a grain in cooking. The grains are small yellow flattened spheres, approximately 1.5 to 2 mm in diameter. When cooked, the germ coils into a small "tail" that lends a pleasant crunch. The leaves of the quinoa plant can also be eaten.
pretty revolting in my experience
It is a grain, that is particularly high in protein. it looks like little beads. It is gaining popularity recently, though I have never had it.
A disgusting porridge-like mess when cooked. Plugged by Gillian McKeith.
