Quinoa doesn't look like rice, and it's not related to rice. It's practically seeds from a crop...not grains. Look at quinoa up close...tell me what kind of rice that looks like to you?

Well, Quinoa's mom was married to Barley, but apparently she wasn't faithful if Quinoa looks like Rice. Too bad Rice won't cough up the child support.

It looks like little tiny springs. No rice...., even uncooked it is more round then rice.
