Chenopodium quinoa near Cachilaya, Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa; from Quechua ' or ') is a flowering plant in the amaranth family.

Ancient grains

Wild cereals and other wild grasses in northern Israel. Ancient grains is a marketing term used to describe a category of grains and pseudocereals that are purported to have been minimally changed by selective breeding over recent millennia, as opposed to more widespread cereals such as corn, rice and modern varieties of wheat, which are the product of thousands of years of selective breeding.
