"Quinoa (play /ˈkiːnwɑː/ or /kɨˈnoʊ.ə/, Spanish: quinua, from Quechua: kinwa), a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds."
It may not sound delicious but it is great for you and super tasty and versitile too! YUM!
The Quinoa cakes are my favorite new easy dinner!

I love quinoa but I still need to figure out more recipes. I only know two ways of making it right now and I will try out these quinoa cakes. They look yummy.
