In India, quinoa farming has a bright future due to varied climate in the country. Quinoa is considered as an alternative crop in the drought-affected region for its ability to grow with less water requirement and extreme climatic conditions. A key feature of quinoa is that the grain, leaves, and inflorescence are all sources of high-quality protein. It is considered one of the most complete foods available as it contains all 9 essential amino acids and other minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron. It is GLUTEN FREE which makes it a perfect food for Gluten intolerant people, like Celiac. There are several products derived from quinoa, such as puffs, flour, pasta, flakes, granola, energy bars, etc. Due to its nutritional content, quinoa is an important food crop in eradicating hunger and food security in undeveloped areas of the world. Currently, the demand for organic quinoa is increasing among manufacturers of organic food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, and others.
