Traditionally, quinoa grain is harvested by hand in the Andes Region of Peru. Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it an alternative to rice or couscous.

Quinoa is a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin E, potassium and fiber. It looks a bit like couscous and is as versatile as rice, but quinoa has a richer, nuttier flavor than either of them. Enjoy quinoa as a great side dish or as a flavorful main course
