Quinoa Ancient Harvest Pasta Garden Pagodas
Quinoa stands alone as a complete protein grain. It supplies all of the essential amino acids in a balanced pattern. A tiny grain no bigger than a mustard seed once fed an ancient civilization which stretched from the seacoast of Chile to the snow-capped peaks of the Peruvian Andes-the vast Inca Empire. The Incas called it Quinoa, The Mother Grain. So sacred was quinoa to the Incas that each year the mighty Inca ruler himself planted the first row of quinoa with a solid gold spade.
