Clever really, it suprised me that theyd manage to send their kids off given how important it seems to have them around to keep the business going. Hopefully the educations will allow them to expand and keep going in other industries.

More often? It’s a staple food. They eat it nearly every day.

I've heard some locals can no longer afford it because the price has multiplied several times.

@@IronJmo need to switch cocaine production instead

@@bmxfreakxyo False. Its mostly potato and corn. Qinua is absolutelly unaffordable.

Lol that’s why the guy couldn’t wait for the prayer to end before eating it I suppose haha

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

When served on a bed of coca leaves.

So does coffee bean...

@@jonathansuarez8338 Only when isolated. Tomato has salt in it. Salt can be very dangerous when used isolated and in high amounts. But tomato is not considered risky because of its salt content. Coca leaves are mild stimulants when consumed mildly and as a whole.

I hope they're branding and labeling this properly. It would be bad if the lower grade quinoa are labelled as Andes quinoa by scammers.

@@TubersAndPotatoes That definitely would be a huge stick, on one hand even if they have proper nutritional labeling on a package who amongst the people who consume it actually know what values it should have? If it's sold in bulk in stores though, may not be any labeling rules other than "quinoa". But more likely than not the people selling it simply rebag bulk amounts (similar to rice) and use a standard nutritional guide label which would be an outright lie, but who knows how often those labels need to be updated.

I am from the UK. I have seen some of the BIGGEST Peruvian grapes available here in the UK. Am very surprised that it could grow to that size. But much appreciated. The sunshine does indeed do something for those fruits' photosynthesis... I just hope that these farmers, literally suppress their growth, and be a LOT smarter as well. Cos prices and productions CAN grow AND shrink. Do not assume that it can stay like this forever. But do build and secure yourself, and save the rest of the money for a rainy day. That's the advice that I can say. Especially with the way the globe is now. Having Quinoa as a secondary grain that can be mixed as a staple... to make breads or whatever.. Well.. if they could literally refine it and done the milling in Peru.. and then let the baking of goods be done abroad.. (that could past their local food production category).. isn't that a lot better??? Most people don't buy cos they don't know what it involves in the processing method as well. And also, not everybody across the globe have the same metabolism when it comes to consuming certain food type. So... Let those nations and countries figure out the ratios. This is not something that Peru should push for either. Cos it just ends up with no market. Especially if you ruin the reputation of the produce itself.

@@Mike__B : It is like rice, nobody would know how to cook or eat it. And to be honest, not all food produce could be eaten in Europe. Cos their genetic ancestries doesn't allow them to produce or to eat certain types of good? So this has to be controlled.. As much as there are a lot of different foreign foods available now in the UK. I think we are nearing that point of "poisoning ourselves" with the way which we consume any old thing. Rice is similar as well... Most people who are grown up with rice, knows how to cook it properly.. the process is long, and it is controlled.. and it is tedious... But we should really have a strong control point as well. I am already starting to see "cannabis in oat milk".... which I am screaming at, AND about !!!!! Who let that one through the door? It is absolutely crazy. Quinoas.. at the moment are sold via "health food shops", many people, DO associate it more as "medicine" than they are "food items". This is a bit of a loophole.. but those who wants to deal with these kind of things, NEED to be ethical in how they market this product as well. Look at what a mess we have made regarding rice, or soya beans. No wonder people are going crazy... and why local quinoas are being sold. i.e. the kind that is genetically compatible with the local population. If I bought this, I would like they do.. mill it, and powderise it and cook it as an addition to soup like barleys. If consumed as a whole grain.. I presume that it is merely for as a fibre, than anything. Cos the body cannot break it down. And we should not try to do so. There is a lot of ignorance in knowing how to treat grains in the UK in general... so...

wrrg

Their harvest bore them good fruit already. Its just a grain and shouldn't be costing that much more than other grains. Its was a supply and demand issue, which is getting better and I'm happy I can afford to eat it lot more often now. You should rather worry about the poor farmers who never once reaped a tiny fortune

As a Peruvian I don’t anyone who has ever eaten quinoa.

@@bngr_bngr then you are not peruano gaaaaaa

@@bngr_bngrthen you’re definitely not Peruvian! I was born in the coast of Peru, far away from quinoa fields but still I had to eat it when I was a kid because my grandma would cook it for us in so many delicious ways. So yeah, you’re not from Peru I guess

@@alphonseelric2514 My mother never made it. She tried it and didn’t like it. Most people from Lima don’t like it either.

That’s what she actually said in Spanish, 17😵‍💫 I was also like wtf

Say hello to my friends in Satipo. We built a church there in 2007 😊

this is why God invented cocaine to equalize the productivity.

wrrg

Yeah but I think I'd like to try growing this. We don't have a farm so it'll be nice to have some grains in the backyard. Corn would probably be better but maybe quinoa and amaranth can be grown during months not suitable for corn.

@@nunyabiznes33 Why would you need it? For animal feeed? For sale?

@@jumper4ever937 I just want to see if it grow here. Maybe just personal consumption. The only grains grown in my country are rice and corn so I'm curious about other grains and pseudograins.

That is the point of globalisation kiddo,, global trading for which people can have more options for super food,, it is not designed to provide the majority of the populations

So true, one should grow what is natural for his/her locality.

yup they should be making more than that

Transportation cost.

Imagine how poor they were when it was $0.05 a kilo and hippies hadn’t found it yet.

No matter how much they get paid, they looked so happy!

@@olilori8635 very true but they are worth more

It’s because South American people were in North America first.

How do you eat it? I tried it but can’t say I liked it which is a shame because it’s supposed to be very healthy.

@@clairee4939 I usually mix with fruits , specially banana and strawberry. I prefer to use quinoa flakes instead of the grain itself. Try to do a mix with banana , strawberry, peanut butter , honey and quinoa. So good.

@@raffaelpeaceandlove - And what benefits do you experience? As well as a better intestinal transit? Easily digestible? Hungry? I enjoyed the Weetabix and oatmeal, brown wholemeal bread is ok but an alternative is welcome. Thank you very much and I look forward to receiving your response.

@@clairee4939 I just prepare it and eat it like I would rice.

@@clairee4939 It's not. It's indigestible.

Bolivians, Peruvians never had that problem.

Polyculture can increase yields per plant, but decrease gross yields per acre. They also require much greater manpower to cultivate, and greater skill. Polyculture isn't cost effective at scale. It is ideal for gardens or household farms.

@@merlinious01 ​ monocultures, in many cases, tend to decrease total annual yields over time. Look at places like India, where monoculture grain has caused an increase in pests, causing an increase in pesticide. Over time, their soil nutrients have diminished to almost zero, meanwhile, they’re poisoning themselves for a crop so high in demand, they have to keep taking out loans to support. They’re literally in debt to a system that’s slowly killing them and have no other option than to dig a deeper hole. Your points aren’t wrong about costing more time etc. but we’ve have plenty of time and data to show that a monoculture is in no way beneficial to the farmer, yield, or economy in the long term. Short term gains, even a generations worth of gains, does not equal lifetimes of prosperity for them or the planet unfortunately.

​@@merlinious01 MUNE is right, you know. Business school types are going to have to get over maximizing profit sooner rather than later; they're profiting themselves right out of an economy as we speak...

Do you really belive that they could grow anything other than quinoa in that dry unirigated area, or that they didn't try to grow other things there before the quinoa craze? You couldn't grow wheat, barley, canola or corn. You could maybe get away with sunflowers but then you have the issue that they don't seem to have a lack of large farming equipment, which is necessary to make any of those less expensive grains worthwhile to grow. They could basically either continue with a monoculture or convert their fields to pastures for cattle. At least that's the impression I get from the farms in this video.

Yeah - the more ancient and local one can eat, the healthier. It can be a rough learning curve, though, as the knowledge of these grains and how to use them have been lost in large part over the centuries just as the native tribes that contained this knowledge have been decimated. These isolated areas of Peru are a special example where that has not happened to such a degree.

"Putin's War". Propaganda is crazy effective isn't it?

That's what "Quinua Real" is meant for. To give the original producers a denomination of origin.

looks similar doesnt mean it's the same. please dont procreate

Are you serious? How many decades are you talking about?

Some people would rather have us all working in the fields all day. Except themselves, of course. Just like Pol Pot.

Does that look like a dream to you? Other countries taking away your livelihood?

@@andreasagas22 I look to the SMILES of those people, and to the CULTURE that have the BALLS to DEFEND and PERPETUATE.

Be green and SMART dude cash do not count much any more ;)

Water like seeks its level. Your way of life will be destroyed unless you are hyper efficient. My dad was a dairy farmer that milked 40 cows in the 90s. It is not a sustainable number these days. He needs to milk 400 plus to be profitable.

@@caesars7hills892 The SIMPLICITY of PLANTING is not that MAGIC or IMPOSSIBILE. You make a WHOLe in a dirt and you put a seed or what ever, you cover, and you wait.

@@republish368 spoken like a true farmer… my dad has self driving tractors. I have no idea what the hell he is doing. It is beyond digging a hole in the ground… It is about being profitable.

I remember that as well. I switched back to rice and haven't had quinoa for quite a while. I should try it again, especially now that I have an Instant Pot, it should be easier to make.

It’s sea food

The bird diet - nice

@@CasaFuenteOrange I also eat chicken breast, tofu, vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, yogurt, and a few more things.

@@CasaFuenteOrange yes my parents always said I eat like a bird.

@@arfriedman4577 I don't eat any of that carb trash and now I'm healthy.

Why?

@@Imaboss8ball shorter transport = less fuel and fresher product. Supporting local economy and traditions. Less risk to spread pests around the world. Less food waste, less packaging...and I'm proud of the family run agricolture of my valley. We are picking up chesnuts and walnuts this month and for us they are the best in the world. Most of them are sold locally without middlemen. 100%bio and pesticides free.

In the 1780's, there were hundreds of apple cultivars in the USA. Now, there are like 5. Thanks capitalism!

@@BoxStudioExecutive there's about 20 in major production in the US with a lot more still grown in private orchards. My supermarket varies between 5-12 varietiea year. year.

@@BoxStudioExecutive Wow producers producing stuff people actually want to buy for the lowest price due to economy of scale, so evil!! There are literally millions of apple cultivars. Plant any apple seed and you’ll have a tree that produces a new unique one. Honey crisp seeds don’t make honey crisp trees.

@@BoxStudioExecutive that isn't a fault of capitalism. A communist society probably will only have one type. It's about what is the most effective way to feed a large growing population reliably and regularly. How can you have an apple pie recipe if the apples you can buy at market are literally a different type everyday?

@@Imaboss8ball Yes, it is a fault of capitalism. Pre-industrial age, there were hundreds of apple cultivars available in the USA. Post-industrial age, that variety has shrunk by over 90%. What happened in between? The corporatization of farms, a symptom of unchecked capitalism. And no, a communist society will not "probably will only have one type" of apple. That was not true of any communist state that ever existed. Maybe you should try using facts to support your arguments instead of pulling shit out of your ass.

I know it’s healthy and a lot of places include it as part of their menu, especially places that do “bowls” (common at fast casual that really cater to the lunch menu), but I can’t get into the taste either.

Nice way to say "I'm a terrible cook" without actually saying it

Quinoa like rice can easily be flavored during the cooking process. Clearly you need to explore more.

RINSE IT BETTER...

If you have to add flavor to something so it becomes ok to eat. Than it s taste is worthless. So mathias and christine are just mentaly challenged lowlifes!

Which kind is that?

Just eat butter.

good for fat vegetarians

I think it's red quinoa. I have tried white quinoa and it doesn't quite taste as good

Extra rinsing helps.

Kiwicha = amaranth

If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, their quinoa is pretty cheap. It’s double the price at other grocery stores in my city

@@user-ic1ii7ky8pwhere do you live?

Apparently the plants are related.

In Peru there is also Chia and Kiwicha among others.

Not all america...only Peru and Bolivia which is SOUTH AMERICA

Amaranth is like the wild ancestor of quinoa.

@@RatarusMaximus amaranth is north and south

Like they said in the 90 it was cheap as hell yet nobody buyed it, only with some advertisement from scientific outlets did it started to sold outside south america

In Australia 1kg quinoa @ $10 p/kg 1kg white rice @ $2.80 p/kg I've never eaten quinoa though I do grow amaranth.

@@KerriEverlasting Fortunately at Costco in the US it's about $2 a pound and comes in a large package. Americans really got into it and the price dropped a lot.
