The full answer
Yes — quinoa is naturally gluten-free
Quinoa is naturally gluten-free and a popular staple in gluten-free diets, valued for being a complete protein source and a good alternative to wheat-based grains in salads and side dishes.
The usual caveat applies
As with other naturally gluten-free grains, cross-contact during processing or packaging is possible, so checking for a gluten-free label on packaged quinoa is still a reasonable precaution.
