History, tradition and origin
Granola was invented in the United States in the 1800s as a health food and returned in the 1960s. Quinoa is a seed grown in the Andes for thousands of years and was a sacred crop to the Inca. Bowls that combine a grain with vegetables and beans take their name from the round bowls used by Buddhist monks.
Food economy and industry
Bolivia and Peru grow most of the world's quinoa. A surge in demand from abroad after 2010 raised farmers' incomes and prices at home, and the crop is now also grown in other countries. Oats grow well in cool, wet climates such as Canada and northern Europe and are also processed into oat drinks.
