Default New low carb diet - Do you have any thoughts on Quinoa?

I discovered and ate quinoa to me it tastes like cous cous, or rice or palenta I could name a couple other carbs it could replace, I really like it. According to my immunity boosters book, it is a "perfect food" a complete protein with 8 amino acids (don't ask me why I need amino acids, I don't know yet ). What the book or any online information doesn't say if it has carbs in it (you know like beans).

What is a complete protein? Do you have any information to share on Quinoa? All I can say it that I love it and I am about to start eating it every day or every other day starting tomorrow. Oh yes, it can pass for mashed potatoes too.
