Alter Eco Quinoa, Inca RedQuinoa is an ancient cereal grain that grows in the Andes Mountains of South America, and has been cultivated in the region for more than 5000
years. Great for a change from rice, potatoes or beans as a side dish. Makes a great cold salad when mixed with fresh veggies (cilantro, celery, red peppers, chives, etc.). Locally referred to as the mother grain and as a protein powerhouse, it kept the Incan armies strong and robust. Quinoa is nutritionally charged and is considered one of the best sources of protein and amino acids by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations.
A great vegetarian alternative, red quinoa, as well as being particularly nutritious, is a light grain with a delicate taste.
