Quinoa these days is being promoted as a health food, but did you know that this beautiful grain has an important place in history? Quinoa is believed to have been first harvested by the Incas in Peru almost 5000 years back.

Today, the scientific world is slowly waking up to the immense health benefits that quinoa offers to people across age-groups.All Rights Reserved
