We all know what tumbleweeds are. Even if you don’t live in an area where tumbleweeds are prevalent, it’s no doubt that you have seen them on movies and tv shows. But not everyone knows what quinoa is. And yet quinoa is a cousin of the tumbleweed! It isn’t technically a grain, but it is commonly substituted as a healthy alternative for grain in recipes.
