Product detailed description
Quinoa is known by its Czech name, quinoa (Latin: Chenopodium quinoa). The plant is often considered a cereal, but it is a so-called pseudocereal. One of its advantages is that it does not contain any gluten. It is therefore a food that even celiacs, i.e. people following a gluten-free diet, can enjoy enriching their diet, or use it to diversify their diet. It can also be an excellent alternative to supplement the necessary nutrients for vegetarians or vegans.
Quinoa is a crop originating from the Peruvian Andes. It has been grown here for 5,000 years. In the times of the Incas, it was the second staple food. The name quinoa means "mother grain" in the Inca language, which speaks of the position that quinoa had among the indigenous inhabitants of Peru. Colonization displaced the food and Europeans replaced quinoa with classic cereals. In recent years, following the rise in demand for a healthy diet, especially in North America and Europe, the crop has been returning to its original areas of South America, where its cultivation and export volume is still increasing.
Ground quinoa can be used as an alternative to semi-coarse wheat flour. We use it for baking, thickening sauces or soups.
