I've heard that quinoa is good for you. Can you tell me more about it?

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a seed from the goosefoot family, which includes spinach and beets. It's high in protein and fiber and has a light, fluffy texture when cooked. It's also a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa is also gluten free, making it a great option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
