You have heard of quinoa as a superfood, but do
you know how it's grown and what it looks
like? Quinoa was originally grown in the Andes in
South America. Now, its grown in many parts of
the world. Its commonly found at grocery stores
and natural food markets. There are three main
types of quinoa black, white and red. Quinoa is
a flowering plant in the amaranth family. It is
grown for its nutritious seeds. The seeds can be
ground up into a flour that is then used to make
pasta-like products. Quinoa is a grain that is
native to the Andes Mountains in South America.
Inca people used it as an important crop and even
referred to it as part of their religion. It has
also been eaten in South America for thousands of
years and its believed that quinoa was used by
the Indians to help prevent altitude sickness.
However, it only recently became a health food
trend and it has since risen to superfood
status. Millet noodles, also known as quinoa
noodles, are gaining popularity quickly. A staple
food in Asia and South America, these gluten-free
noodles are gaining mass popularity throughout
the western world and here is why theyre a great
alternative to other grain products. Quinoa is
one of the healthiest grains you can eat. Its
high in protein, zinc, iron, calcium and
phosphorus but its also gluten free and has a
low glycemic index. Most importantly, Quinoa
packs more fiber than most other grains which
