Farmers in Bolivia have boosted production of a seed that has been described as one of the world's "superfoods".

Quinoa is rich in protein, minerals and vitamins and has become increasingly popular in the United States, Europe and Asia.

It shouldn't surprise anybody that such a food source comes from the Andes as that's the original home of potatoes and tomatoes!

It's nothing new, but it's resurgence as haute cuisine has made it popular.
Just a trend that will eventually die out.

Quinoa is healthy and tasty. For people who prefer to avoid gluten, it's a nice alternative.

I like mustard on my Quinoa, hmm.
