Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a popular food in Bolivia. It’s a plant from the Andean highlands. The plant’s seeds are the edible, tasty part. They contain protein, which helps children grow and avoid malnutrition. Teach the kids in your life the importance of protein and other nutrients — and why many children living in poverty don’t get the nutrients they need since their families can’t afford enough food.
