Quinoa is often referred to as a "pseudo-cereal" (just like buckwheat, amaranth, and chia) because it is technically not a grain but a seed, yet similar to true cereals when it comes to flavor, cooking, and nutritional profile. First domesticated and highly cherished as the "mother of all grains" by ancient civilizations in the Peruvian Andes, quinoa is wildly popular and cultivated throughout the world as an important source of nutrition.
