Quinoa, health food
Cultivated before the time of the Incas (almost 6000 years ago) until today in the mountains of the Andes Cordillera at more than 3000 meters of altitude,
quinoa is a real treasure for health and for the food.
The
Quinoa Real variety is appreciated for the very high quality of its
protein (all amino acids are present),
minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium) and
fiber .
