Quinoa and chickpea salad with honey-roasted beetroot

Quinoa, originating from the Andes, has been cultivated by Andean civilisations for millennia. Known as the "mother grain" or "golden grain," this pseudo cereal has been a crucial staple in the diet of ancient cultures like the Incas. Quinoa stands out for its exceptional nutritional value, serving as a complete source of proteins, fibre, and various nutrients. Its versatility in modern cooking has propelled its global popularity, paying homage to its rich heritage, and contributing to contemporary culinary diversity.
