Food & Art

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-WAH) is native to the Andes Mountains. It is a staple in the diet of many people in Bolivia, Peru and Chile. Quinoa means mother grain in the Inca language, and has been eaten for over 5,000 years by the people who inhabit this region. The seed is used to make flour, soup, breakfast cereal and alcohol. It is considered one of the world’s healthiest foods; one cup of cooked quinoa contains 24 grams of protein, making it a perfect staple for those who are interested in reducing or eliminating meat from their diets.
