Quinoa is a grain crop that is grown for its edible seeds. It's pronounced KEEN-wah. It technically isn't a cereal grain, but a pseudo-cereal ( 1 ). In other words, it is basically a seed, which is prepared and eaten similarly to a grain.With twice the protein content of rice or barley, quinoa is also a very good source of calcium, magnesium and manganese. It also contributes useful levels of several B vitamins, vitamin E and dietary fibre.Cooked quinoa seeds become fluffy and creamy, yet maintains a slight crunch.
