“For centuries, Bolivians have considered the quinoa grain to be a gift from Mother Earth.

Lately, they have had someone else to thank for the prosperity brought by quinoa: health-conscious people in the United States.

Farmers in Bolivia are planting as much organic quinoa as possible because of increasing demand in the United States. But quinoa is only one of dozens of organic products that Latin American farmers are increasingly harvesting for export to the United States as they tap into the growing clamor for chemical-free products.”
