The Ancient Grain of the Andes and treasured by the Incas. Peruvian Quinoa, also known as “Sweet Quinoa” is a smaller variety with naturally less saponin, giving it a superior sweeter taste.
Quinoa has been used for centuries by the ancient civilizations of Peru to the modern Andean people. It naturally grows in the high altitudes of the Andes, and it is this unique environment that gives it its beneficial qualities.
Quinoa is used traditionally in breakfasts and stews but in modern times it is an excellent replacement for rice. Many exciting recipes use quinoa instead of rice; including quinoa chaufa, and lomo saltado
