Quinoa
Quinoa has gained popularity as a healthier alternative to rice, although it doesn’t quite match rice’s widespread appeal. Quinoa resembles a tall flower during its growth, leading farmers to shake the plants to release the seeds.
This shaking process helps harvest the seeds, and then farmers rinse them to remove their natural bitterness. Quinoa stands out for its high fiber, protein, and mineral content, making it nutritious. Additionally, it is relatively affordable, adding to its appeal.
