Can you tell me about the history of quinoa?

Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a seed that was first cultivated in the Andes Mountains of South America. It has been a staple food for the Andean people for centuries, and it is now grown around the world. Quinoa is high in protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. It is also gluten-free and can be eaten raw or cooked.
