quinoas
Protein-rich ancient seeds
Quinoas is the plural of quinoa, a grain-like seed from an Andean plant, eaten as a protein-rich food.
The plural appears when distinguishing varieties or preparations: The store stocks three different quinoas—red, white, and black.
In most contexts, quinoa remains uncountable: She made quinoa for dinner.
