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 is related to spinach and beets. It is grown in the Andes Mountains of South America. It is a complete protein source because it contains all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. You can find quinoa at most health food stores or online retailers.
