Quinoa (Keen-wah) (Chenopodium Quinoa) was a widely used grain by the Incas and has been grown in the Andes for centuries. The Quechua name for Quinoa translates as "the mother grain" or "super grain". The United Nations World Health Organization observes that Quinoa is closer to the ideal protein balance than any other grain. Quinoa is equivalent to milk in protein and is high in Vitamins B & E, iron, zinc, potassium and calcium. It is also high in essential amino acids. Quinoa has recently become popular in the U.S. due to its unique texture and flavor aswell as its nutritional superiority. When cooked, the thin germ circlet falls from the seed and remains crunchy while the grain, pearly and translucent, melts in your mouth. Quinoa has a slight, nutty flavor and is a good substitute for couscous or bulghur in many dishes.

Speed and quality

Because my local WholeFoods and other stores had run out of quinoa, I looked into buying it online. And even with shipping costs, this turned out to be a good decision, as in the US Northeast, quinoa costs skyrocketed around August 2008, from $2/pound to $4 and up.

This is a bulk bag of quinoa from Angelina's Gourmet, shipped quickly in a box, and is in all respects just like what you'd buy in the bulk section of your local health food store. Excellent value both financially and nutritionally.
