Meaning and background
The story behind Quinoa
Quinoa has both plant and seed senses in the dictionary. The entry identifies Chenopodium quinoa, an Andean herb cultivated for starchy edible seeds that can also be ground into flour. Its pronunciation options are recorded rather than obvious from the English letters. A dog owner may choose the culinary association or a particular food memory, and can demonstrate the intended reading when others first encounter the written name.
