Quinoa is not a grain or cereal, but instead, it is classified as a plant. Quinoa is used to make flour, soups, and beer. It can also be consumed in salads and stews. Quinoa is also used to replace grains like wheat for people who need to avoid gluten, like those with celiac disease.
Quinoa is known to contain no Gluten.
Quinoa has been known to contain high levels of oxalic acid and saponins. Quinoa should be prepared by soaking before cooking to remove oxalic acids and saponins.
An intolerance to this food may be due to the saponins or oxalic acids, or where there is already gut irritation or inflammation, rendering the food an inflammatory causing item.
