I would believe it is. do some research if you want. The couple places i looked a few months ago said it is though.

Yes, it is, but sometimes the equipment it is processed on is shared with wheat, so check the box. Yay gluten-free!!!

Watch out though. I experimented with a box of quinoa (shaped like elbow macaroni noodles), and even though it had a normal amount of fiber for me (16% of daily value in a serving), I got so gassy for some reason lol. Tasted like “regular” pasta to me though!

Yup it is, but like the other person said, you want to make sure it’s not cross contaminated.

You cook it just like rice and it’s a lot like couscous (which isn’t gluten free). It’s quite nutty, but a bit bland.
You could cook some up and mix it in with rice (which is gluten free) and have a rice and quinoa mix to have with a gluten free stir fry.
Also, to save you any embarrassment when you go to the shop and ask for it (lol) it’s pronounced KEEN-wah. My Mum always says ‘quin-oh-ar’ lol.
