Quinoa History and Nutrition - Superfoods

Quinoa has been around for millennia. The Inca called quinoa chisaya mama, or "mother grain." Not only was it a vital source of nutrients for the Inca people, it was used in religious ceremonies. When the Spanish came to the new world, they believed the simple grain was a false idol, and burned quinoa fields far and wide. Luckily for us, they couldn't wipe it out entirely.
