It's such a pleasant surprise to hear that the farmers are actually benefiting from their hard work.

Between war, waste, and climate change, we need as much variety in crops as possible. I hope they’re able to preserve all their varieties successfully and on their own terms.

Good lesson in long term economics. Smart of the farmers to spend to the money on education because the knew the golden years would end but with educated children the have secured there future even through changing times and uncertainty.

Quinoa was declared a "superfood" by the National Institute for Baloney.

Depends. In a tropical country with plentiful rainfall like mine it's more efficient to just grow rice. The per hectare yield alone is much much higher than other grains. And the focus should be what's grown locally, instead of importing stuff

No offense to Professor Bellemare in this video, I'm sure he's great and all, but something about him makes me think he shouldn't be trusted with a dinosaur theme park security system.

$1.00 a kilo. And then they sell it for $10 per lbs in the US.

I hope that the locals will be able to enjoy it more often now that the price is stabilizing.

Few years ago, I met an agriculture engineer working in several crops in the north coast of Peru where agroexporting companies are producing different products like asparagus, avocado, blackberries, etc and for some years quinoa to export to Europe but after some harvesting season they realized quinoa from the coast are not the same with quinoa harvesting in the Andes that has more nutrients, vitamins and proteins according to some studies european authorities did after they got quinoa from the coast of Peru. So, after this issue for the agroexport companies wirh the low nutrients quinoa they got, it was sold locally wirh a low prices, meanwhile quinoa from the Andes are more demanding now and mostly of it is organic so it take time to produce it.

I've got to spend time in Peru someday. It's such an amazing place with incredible people.

I had a hard time losing weight, but having quinoa along with other cooked veges such as mushroom and broccoli, along with green salad actually helps me lose weight. (i only had it during lunch) I dont feel bloated even if i eat a full plate of greens with quinoa and in time, it makes me feel less tired in the morning.

@craigbrinkman1262 Год назад

My daughter and I love quinoa. I eat it with coconut for breakfast most days. I hope the farmers will be ok.

One of the very few good news this year. I love Quinoa more than any other carb (sweet potato close second),I even grow in my backyard because of high price.
