Quinoa or couscous?

Both look like healthy “little grains.” But one is a seed; the other, pasta.

Who wins at what

Moroccan couscous is made from wheat (semolina) — basically a tiny pasta, and it has gluten. Quinoa is a seed, gluten-free and a complete protein. For anyone cutting gluten, quinoa wins; for a quick neutral side, couscous.
