Notes
Quinoa is a plant from the amaranth family, a grain crop and an excellent gluten-free alternative to starchy grains. Although often used as a grain substitute, quinoa is actually a seed from the same family as beets, chard, and spinach. It is rich in essential amino acids. In recent years, it has been hailed by gourmets as a superior alternative to bulgur, couscous, and rice.
