Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a 7,000 year-old plant that originated in the mountainous region of South America. While it is commonly known as an “ancient grain,” quinoa is technically not a grain nor a cereal, but a seed that is gluten-free.

​

It is a rare plant food that is a complete protein source, containing all the 20 amino acids, including the 10 essential acids our body can't produce on its own.
