What Is Quinoa?
Whether you pronounce it ‘keen-wah’ or ‘kwi-no-ah’ (it’s ‘keen-wah’), quinoa comes from a plant in the goosefoot family in Bolivia and Peru, and we eat the seed inside this plant. So the quinoa we eat is, in fact, a seed, and not a grain as commonly thought.
Nutty, nutritious, and filling, quinoa is one of only a few plant-based foods that are complete proteins, meaning it contains all of the amino acids your body requires—no supplements required. About 20 years ago, NASA researchers declared quinoa the perfect snack for astronauts on long-term missions, as it is rich in minerals, gluten-free, and a complete protein.
