Altevita Quinoa 300g

Product detailed description

Quinoa is an excellent alternative to rice and couscous, and stands out for how easy it is to prepare.

Quinoa comes from South America, where it was grown at altitudes of up to 4000 metres. For ancient South American civilisations, it was the second most important crop after potatoes. The Incas called it the mother of all grains. Because of its special properties, America's NASA considers it one of the basic foods for crewed space flights.
