pseudo-cereal
Not true grain
A pseudo-cereal is a plant whose seeds are used like grains but isn't a true cereal—that is, not a grass.
Quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth are common pseudo-cereals, often marketed as alternatives to wheat or rice.
They're prepared and eaten similarly to cereals but come from unrelated plant families.
