Quinoa Real is made with quinoa (botanical name Chenopodium quinoa) an annual herbaceous plant from the Chenopodiaceae family, such as spinach or beetroot.
This grain has a very important history, revered by the Incas as a sacred plant for over 5,000 years and cultivated in the highlands of the Andes at altitudes between 3800 and 4200 meters, still is the staple food of the Andean populations
This food has been in recent years also rediscovered by the western world as it boasts important nutritional properties and is naturally gluten-free.
The quinoa root is very deep (even 180 cm) and branched, and gives the plant both good stability and excellent resistance to drought.
