   Quinoa
   `Quinoa` ( or , Spanish `quinua, quínoa,` or `quinoa`) is a species of goosefoot (`Chenopodium`) grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal as it is not a grass. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.
