The quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is not a cereal grain or seed-though it is an annual plant belonging to the broad leaves of quenopodiaceas family, which also belong to the beets, spinach and chard. In addition to seeds, people also use the leaves cooked as fresh vegetables.

    It is not a very used ingredient though, but very healthy, maybe the people show encourage the use of this preparing for example, the lunch of the kids with quinoa, I have tried it and it is a very delicious ingredient, especially if you prepare it like a stew with some veggies and maybe a piece of meat or soy if you are vegetarian

    I have heard of many people that dislike but once I tried and was pretty nice indeed, I once saw a recipe of cookies made with quinoa flour and they looked very nice too…. so I don’t know what to believe… good recipes by the way

    I LOVE quinoa, and while I do understand that it is SO delicious and nutritious, I also am a pretty huge supporter of eating foods that grow locally in yoru own climate, and that don’t require shipping to get to you. Quinoa doesn’t grow anywhere near where I live, so I feel very torn 🙁
