Quinoa grows naturally along the Andes Mountains, from Venezuela to Chile. There are about 3,000 varieties of this cereal that was once one of the main components of the native South American diet. Origen Chilean Gourmet's quinoa is mapuche quinoa, collected by families of small farmers from the Araucania region. Sprinkle Origen Chilean Gourmet Natural Quinoa Puffs on cereal or mix with yogurt, ice cream, cottage cheese. Add to salads, stir fry or use as a breading for meat or fish.
