Organic Quinoa Grains
Organic Quinoa, pronounced as ‘keen-wa’, is a great wheat-free alternative to starchy grains. Quinoa is grown in South America and it formed the staple diet of the Incas and their descendants for thousands of years. However, since recently it has been concurring the hearts of people in Europe and the US. Though it often occupies a similar role to bulgur and other grains in dishes, quinoa is actually in the same family as beets, chard and spinach.
Quinoa grains have a good taste and a firm texture, this is why it is gaining recognition in the world of health food.
In 2013 the UN named the year 2013 as ‘International Quinoa Year’ in recognition of the crop’s high nutrient content.
What are Quinoa Grains?
Quinoa is called a grain by many people, this is because it is used as a cereal and cooked as a gran. Quinoa grains are the seeds of the chenopodium plant, which is part of the same family as spinach, beets and chard. (the goosefoot family)
Quinoa is called an ancient grain because its history dates back to 4,000 years ago. Quinoa is originating from Bolivia and the Andean region of South America. Around that time it was grown for its edible seeds.
The Incas saw Quinoa grains as ‘’the mother grain’’ this because it was the main food for them.
Nowadays there are three different varieties: whole grain white, black and red.
