It tastes a bit nutty, like couscous or rice. It's texture is light and fluffy. Be sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking, or it might have a sour/bitter taste, or might taste too muddy or earthy.

A lot like chicken. (That's not meant to be a joke, they actually do taste like chicken).

No. Both are "pseudo" grains because they are actually seeds and both are extremely good for you. Salba is made from chia seeds and quinoa is from the quinoa seed. Both originated in South America and have been used for centuries. Quinoa should be soaked before cooking and the cooking ration is 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Chia can be soaked or eaten raw. If soaked, the ratio is 9 parts water to 1 part chia (or salba) and it makes a gel that can be used in smoothies or gravies or just about anything. It does not dilute the taste of food, and has an extremely mild taste. Actually the taste of quinoa is quite mild as well. Both have a slightly nutty flavor. Both seeds are great for vegetarian diets as they have protein and quinoa has all the amino acids, which is quite unusual for a 'grain'.

Quinoa.
Quinoa seeds are coated with saponin, which has a bitter taste, so the seeds are usually rinsed before cooking. Most commercially sold quinoa has already gone through this step. Like many other beans, grains, and seeds, quinoa can also be sprouted. This allows it to be eaten raw (it can also be cooked in this form). To sprout quinoa, soak the seeds for 30 minutes, drain, and then leave damp seeds in a cool dark place for 12 hours (or until you notice little white roots from the seeds). You can sprout them in the refrigerator. Rinse again and eat! The washed quinoa will have a less bitter taste than the sprouted quinoa.
That is approximately 15 teaspoons of quinoa.
It is solid but there is a method of analysis to test.
