Here's a fun fact about quinoa:
it's technically not a grain—it's a seed! Quinoa belongs to the same family as spinach and beets, and its seeds are what we cook and eat. This makes it a "pseudo-grain," often mistaken for a cereal grain because of how we prepare and enjoy it. Bonus fun? Quinoa comes in a rainbow of varieties, including white, red, black, and even purple! Each type has its own unique flavor and texture, making it a colorful and exciting ingredient to experiment with in the kitchen.
