So important was quinoa to their diet that the mighty Inca King planted the first row of quinoa each year with a solid gold spade. Grown in the mighty Andes Mountains of South America, Quinoa dates back over 5,000 years. This tiny seed, no bigger than a mustard seed once fed an ancient civilization stretching from the seacoast of Chile to the snow-capped peaks of the Peruvian Andes, the vast Inca Empire.
