I have had it and do know some stuff about it. It's a South American grain, and I believe introduced into the human diet on the order of 3000 years ago.
Why it's "good for you" (meaning, usually, good for vegetarians or better for people than a slice of white bread) is that it is the highest protein grain out there and a whole grain, too.
Its taste is described as "nutty" but I found it very bitter, even after pre-soaking.
A search for "quinoa" on any internet search engine would get you more (and more accurate!) info.
