The gold of the Andes

The quinoa plant originally comes from South America, where it has been known as a nutrient- and energy-rich staple food of the Incas for around 6,000 years. That's why it's also known by the names "Inca rice" and "Inca wheat". Since then, quinoa has been cultivated in Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. The interesting thing is that quinoa is actually not a grain at all, but rather belongs to the goosefoot family just like beetroot and spinach. However, since the seeds can be processed in the same way as other cereals, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat are often nicknamed "pseudo-cereals".
