Quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) is a type of edible seed that comes in various colors including black, red, yellow, and white. Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family. It is a herbaceous annual plant grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds; the seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and dietary minerals in amounts greater than in many grains. Quinoa is usually harvested by hand due to the differing levels of maturity of the seeds even within one plant. quinoa is commonly considered to be a grain and is usually referred to as such, but it is actually a seed.
