Abstract
Few so-called superfoods have received as much attention as quinoa in recent years. Originating from and grown mostly in South America, it is hailed for its nutritional value and for being easily cultivated in different climatic and agricultural conditions. For these reasons quinoa has been named by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as the world’s most promising crops in establishing global food security.
