Quinoa is the grain of the Inca Empire. I remember that from when I was in a three month trial run as a vegetarian and I was researching things I might want to eat. Its still grown in the Andes and the people there use it like rice. I also remember something about it being popped like popcorn and vendors selling it on streets.

Never had it myself. I think a T-Bone derailed my short career as a vegetarian.
