APRECIADA POR LOS INCAS Y PROSCRITA LUEGO POR LOS CONQUISTADORES POR SUS FUERTES VÍNCULOS CON LA RELIGIÓN Y EL PENSAMIENTO INDÍGENA, EL CULTIVO DE LA KIWICHA QUEDÓ EN EL OLVIDO DURANTE SIGLOS Y APENAS PUDO SOBREVIVIR HASTA LLEGAR A NOSOTROS. DESCUBIERTAS SUS GRANDES VIRTUDES NUTRITIVAS Y MEDICINALES, HOY LA KIWICHA GOZA DE UN APRECIO Y UNA DEMANDA NACIONAL Y MUNDIAL.

kiwicha AMARANTH
MUCH APPRECIATED BY THE INCAS AND FORBIDDEN BY THE SPANISH CONQUISTADORS BECAUSE OF ITS STRONG RELIGIOUS CONNOTATIONS AND USES, AMARANTH WAS FORBIDDEN FOR MANY CENTURIES AND HAS BARELY SURVIVED UNTIL OUR TIMES. ONCE ITS HUGE NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICINAL VIRTUES WERE RE-DISCOVERED, KIWICHA GAINED MUCH APPRECIATION AND IS IN AND IN GREAT DEMAND IN BOTH DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.
