What is Quinoa?

Quinoa is a grain that was used by the native populations of the Andes for thousands of years before the arrival of the Spanish. When cooked, it has a sweet and nutty flavor similar to brown rice, and a fluffy texture. It can be used as an accompaniment to meats or vegetable main dishes, or as part of a casserole or salad.
