Whats the deal with Buckwheat and Quinoa?

Buckwheat is a versatile gluten free product that actually comes from a seed not a grain. Buckwheat has 80% more protein than eggs and 90% more than milk.  It is high in amino acids and antioxidants.

Quinoa most commonly considered a grain, is also a seed and is a relative of leafy green vegetables like spinach and Swiss chard. It has a low glycemic index, gluten free, high in protein and a good source of fiber.
