Quinoa Cuisine Recipe Book
What Is Quinoa? Although quinoa often gets classi ed as a grain, like wheat and barley, it’s actually in the goosefoot family, related to beets, spinach, and chard. The seed of the plant is what’s most commonly consumed. (The leaves also can be eaten, but they’re not commonly found in U.S. stores.) Nutritionists refer to quinoa as a “pseudograin” (along with amaranth and buckwheat) because it has a similar nutritional pro le to true grains and is prepared and served in similar ways.
