quinoa
Protein-rich seed crop
Quinoa is a grain-like seed from a plant native to the Andes, cooked and eaten like rice or other grains.
It became popular in Western health food culture for its high protein content and because it's gluten-free: I'll have the quinoa salad.
The word comes from Spanish, itself from Quechua.
