Quinoa

When people talk about quinoa, they usually refer to the seeds of the quinoa plant, originally native to the Andes, which the Andean peoples used as a staple food for thousands of years. In this respect, there are great parallels to chia seeds and in both cases it is a superfood that is becoming increasingly popular and provides valuable nutrients. In addition, quinoa, which is also known as a gluten-free grain, requires little water, which is why it could help to fight the hunger in the world. Quinoa has a slightly nutty taste and can be cooked like rice or used as a side dish or consumed raw.
