Amusing Anecdote : Known as “the golden grain of the Incas”, quinoa is a plant from the same family as beetroot and spinach, which has been grown on the high plains of the Andes for over 5000 years. It is considered to be a ‘pseudo cereal’ – it is gluten free and is particularly rich in protein, iron and Omega 3.
