Is quinoa a grain?

Is quinoa gluten free?

How to store quinoa?
Uncooked quinoa can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two years. Take the quinoa out of its original packaging and move it to a sealable container made of glass or plastic. Give the seeds a sniff before cooking them. They should smell neutral, so any odd odours indicate that they shouldn’t be used.

Cooked quinoa can go rancid very quickly if left at room temperature. Chill it as quickly as possible in the fridge, where it will last for up to six days, provided it’s stored in an airtight container.
