Quinoa is a flowering plant that is part of the amaranth family. It’s a pseudo-cereal of round, disc-shaped seeds in either white, red or black color. This ancient grain delivers a bold, earthy flavor.
Quinoa predominantly grows in South America, mainly Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina. In the United States, farmers have started growing quinoa around the Rocky Mountains at elevations between 7,000 and 10,000 feet.
