About Quinoa Edit

Wikipedia Article About Quinoa on Wikipedia

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium quinoa Wild) grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds. It is not a true cereal as it is not a grass. Quinoa originated in the Andean region of South America, where it has been an important food for 6,000 years. Quinoa is generally undemanding and altitude-hardy, so it can be easily cultivated in the Andes up to about 4,000 meters. Even so, it grows best in well-drained soils and requires a relatively long growing season.
