Is there a difference between quinoa and rice?

Yes, there is a slight difference between quinoa and rice. Rice is an ingredient made from the grain of the grass plant Oryza sativa. Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a seed that comes from a flowering plant in the goosefoot family. The main difference between the two grains is their size; quinoa is smaller than rice and has a slightly nutty flavor.
