Once a totally disrespected food, known only by poor indigenous peoples in the Andean mountain regions of South America, quinoa is now appreciated, eaten, and also grown throughout the world. Quinoa’s unique strengths as a food crop, its amazing nutritional characteristics, and its culinary excellence are finally getting the recognition they deserve. How did quinoa go from complete obscurity to being a worldwide sensation? Well ... the true story is stranger than fiction, much stranger. Stephen Gorad tells that story, just as he lived it, in The Quinoa Chronicles! The year is 1973. Two young men, both seeking to unravel the deepest mysteries of life, meet in a room in Boston. A friendship develops. A Chinese banquet leads to a ticket to Chile. Quinoa is discovered in a Bolivian street market. A love affair.....

JIWRA was founded in 2017, as a corollary of a long professional career of its founding partners, who entered the quinoa business planted outside the natural zone (Altiplano) and began to promote planting of quinoa and Andean grains in the Majes - Arequipa irrigation , which led to the need for a grain processing plant located near the growing area.
