Foodies discovered our line of Central Market Quick Cook Grains on adventurous world travels! Quinoa, a native crop of the Andean Region of South America, has been eaten for thousands of years. It makes a tasty and filling substitute for rice or pasta in many dishes. Our Foodies recommend topping with extra virgin olive oil and adding fresh, chopped herbs, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled cheeses, fiery spices, roasted veggies or sliced meats. Provecho!
