Quinoa (pronounced 'keen-wah') was originated from the ancient times, going back to the Inca civilization. Long ago, it was honored as the 'mother of all grains', now it is known as a 'super grain' due its excellent nutritional properties. Quinoa is a balanced-amino acid high source of rich protein. It is organically gluten-free, wheat-free, easy to digest and is one of the least allergenic foods existing. A resourceful product, quinoa can be an alternative for almost any grain in any recipe.
