Quinoa – It grows taller than me! Video from Peru!
I had no idea that Quinoa grew so tall!
In this video I am in a most incredible ancient agricultural center called Moray in Peru. You have got to see it to believe it! It has about 25 levels for growing, each creates a different micro-climate, so that different crops can grow.
At the very base of this cone of fertile land grows wonderful quinoa.
3 Reasons Quinoa is a great addition to your diet:
Quinoa is:
- a complete protein. It contains 9 essential amino acids that are required by the body as building blocks for muscles.
- gluten-free. Perfect for those with wheat sensitivities or celiac disease.
- high in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc.
