The power of plants
For thousands of years, quinoa has been grown on the Andean Altiplano and served as a staple food for its people. The Incas regarded it as a holy plant and worshipped its seeds. It is said that quinoa’s high protein and amino acid content played a major part in the spread of this civilization. Quinoa was discovered in the 1970’s by westerners and the seed is now eaten for its exceptional nutritional benefits.
