Description
Quinoa, native to the Andes Mountains in South America, is a traditional food for Inca indigenous people. It carries 5,000-7,000 years of cultivation history because of its unique rich nutritional value and from raising the nation of the ancient Inca, known as "the mother of food." Quinoa is closely related to the edible plants beetroot, spinach, and amaranth, another pseudocereal which it closely resembles.
