You have to be careful with quinoa, as some brands are NOT acceptable for Pesach. I think that Trader Joe’s sells one that is (American Harvest?)and the reason for the problem (so I was told) is that some quinoa is grown near grain fields, and there is a fear of cross pollination or something, so that mamesh a grain of wheat could get mixed in. Since chometz is not botul b’shishim or anything else, one needs to get quinoa that is only grown by itself, or with other kosher for Pesach vegetables.
