In fact, the conquistadores forbade quinoa cultivation for a time and the Incas were forced to grow wheat instead. During the Spanish conquest of South America, the Spanish colonists scorned quinoa as "food for Indians", and even actively suppressed its cultivation, due to its status within indigenous religious ceremonies. The Incas, who held the crop to be sacred, referred to quinoa as chisaya mama or "mother of all grains", and it was the Inca emperor who would traditionally sow the first seeds of the season using "golden implements". Quinoa has been an important staple in the Andean cultures where the plant is indigenous but relatively obscure in the rest of the world. Quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots and spinach and was first domesticated by the Andean peoples around 3,000 years ago. Organic Rice Cake with Quinoa, a delicious low fat treat.
