I agree that for most lifestyles getting enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan isn't hard. However, why would you suggest something exotic like quinoa instead

I agree that for most lifestyles getting enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan isn't hard. However, why would you suggest something exotic like quinoa instead of lentils and beans which have been used as a source of protein for millenia?
I've never understood the exotic ingredient or 'superfood' fetishism in vegetarian diets.
