Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa 'Brilliant Rainbow') - Description

Quinoa (/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 true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds.
