About Quinoa:
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a native “grain” or seed of a high Andes pig weed that has been widely used for food in Peru. It is high in protein, calcium, and iron. From our experience, quinoa is only available in health food stores or from food cooperatives. Quinoa can be used whole like rice, or in soups, or ground and used in baking, as in multi-grain bread. See the nutritional chart below.
