What it is
Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family, grown for its edible seeds. The seeds are small, round, and typically white, red, or black. After harvesting, the seeds are usually cleaned to remove a natural bitter coating called saponin.

JECFA has evaluated quinoa and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). There are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption at typical dietary levels.
