Botanically, it is not a grain. However, it is often referred to as a "fake grain" because its nutrients are similar and it is consumed in the same way as grains.
Quinoa was first cultivated as a food 7,000 years ago in the Andes. The Incas called it the "mother's eye" and considered it sacred.

Although now grown worldwide, most are still grown in Bolivia and Peru. Until recently, it was largely unknown to the rest of the world.

Since then, it has grown in popularity due to its high nutritional content and health benefits. It is also easy to grow in different conditions.

In fact, 2013 was named the "International Year of Quinoa" by the United Nations due to its valuable properties and potential in the fight against world hunger.

Quinoa is also popular because it is a gluten-free grain. This means that people with celiac disease, wheat allergies or those avoiding gluten can also consume it.
