This ancient seed was a staple of the Incas. It cooks quickly and has a mild flavour and a delightful, slightly crunchy, texture. It's got a lot of the amino acid lysine, so it provides a more complete protein than many other cereal grains. It comes in different colours, ranging from a pale yellow to red to black. Rinse quinoa before using to remove its bitter natural coating.
