INCA HEALTH proudly introduces our Quinoa Grain. The botanical name of our Quinoa is Chenopodium Quinoa. The real 'Mother Grain' of our Peruvian Andes, is naturally grown on small family plots at over 12,000 feet in the Andes Mountains. These grains were the staple food of Inca Empire and it is known that quinoa initiated cultivation as far as more than 5,000 years ago in our Andean Mountains.
The quinoa seed is high in protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, a relatively good source of vitamin E and several of the B vitamins. It is famous because it contains a perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids needed for tissue development in humans. The protein quality and quantity in quinoa is superior to those of more common cereal and it is higher in lysine than wheat.
The Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) of the United Nations rated the nutritional quality of quinoa's protein similar to casein (milk protein). It is a healthy whole grain.
