Quinoa, originating from the Andean region, is actually a seed and not a grain. It's a complete protein and gluten-free grain alternative.

Store uncooked quinoa in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one to two years. Cooked quinoa should be refrigerated in an airtight container and used within three to five days. For longer storage, freeze cooked quinoa in an airtight container for up to three months.
