Quinoa is native to South America and the vast majority of quinoa is still produced in Bolivia and
Peru, as of 2017. In that year, around 146.74 thousand metric tons of quinoa were produced

Ecuador also cultivates a small but significant share of the world’s quinoa.
The term “superfood” has been popping up on online health blogs and in fitness magazines, as
well as on food packaging. It tends to refer to food that is nutritionally dense and exceptionally
good for one’s health. Quinoa, chia seeds, kale, and salmon are a few examples of so-called
superfoods. Between 2016 and 2017, the year-on-year retail sales growth of quinoa was 15.6
percent, higher than any other type of superfood. In addition, chia seed sales saw an increase of
14.7 percent in that time period.
