I've been hearing a lot about quinoa lately. What is it, and where can I find it?

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a seed that has been cultivated for thousands of years in South America. It's high in protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and other essential nutrients. It's also gluten free, making it a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. You can find quinoa in most grocery stores these days, usually in the grains or health food section.
