"History and Origin of Quinoa
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is native to South America and has been grown as the main food crop since 6000 years ago. Quinoa was already used by the Incas as a field product. The plant is able to grow under cold, nutrient-poor and dry conditions. The growth period is about 5-6 months.
Through crossbreeding, quinoa varieties have been created which can grow in European and North American conditions. In the first half of April the quinoa is sown in Europe and the harvest takes place from mid-September.
