Quinoa in Spanish, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa. is a species of the goosefoot genus, a grain crop grown primarily for its edibleseeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family.
I have been using this nutritious grain for a few months now and i love it to the core. To my surprise it turned out to be delicious, i loved it. To my tastebuds it almost tasted like wheat rava. I made this fried rice and loved it.Planning to try few more recipes as well.
