And any grain Although if you read the <i>Washington Post</i> article I linked to, you'll note that Peru and Bolivia have greatly increased (and are continuing to increase) their quinoa production, and its popularity has enabled them to charge higher export prices, helping their economies. Still, there are loads of other grains out there that people don't use enough. Couscous is a great one, although its gluten content causes problems for some people. Barley gets my vote for a great tasting ingredient that's totally underused.

Everyone should really try other grains than just the quinoa, try cous-cous for example. I know its trendy to use the quinoa, but its wreaking havoc on the diets people of Peru and Bolivia. So much quinoa is being diverted to other countries the indigenous people who have consumed quinoa for centuries can't afford to buy it.Pete McNesbittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-48173290486222304252013-07-17T10:01:05.742-05:002013-07-17T10:01:05.742-05:00Hi Amelia, I really love cucumber and tomato too -...Hi Amelia, I really love cucumber and tomato too - one of my favorite summer salads.
