What is a "quinoa"

Is it a veggie or what?..they say it is a “supperfood”…wow…

Answer #1

It has a very good mix of essential amino acids, unusually so for a plant. It is 12-18% protein. Grows well in marginal soil. (In highly fertilized soil it is actually bad for you as it builds a high level of nitrates.)

Answer #2

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.
