What it is
Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family, grown for its edible seeds. It originated in the Andes region of South America. The seeds are precooked and often used in place of rice or other grains.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add precooked quinoa to foods as a source of protein and fiber, and for its mild, nutty flavor and chewy texture. It is commonly found in packaged side dishes, grain bowls, and vegetarian entrees.
Health notes
Quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a nutrient-dense food, providing protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated quinoa and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming quinoa at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Quinoa is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
