QUINOA Super food! Quinoa: from Quechua (kinwa or kinuwa ) It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds. As a member of the Amaranthaceae family, it is related to and resembles amaranth, which is also a pseudocereal. It is high in protein, and is tolerant of dry soil. Quinoa was important to the diet of preColumbian Andean civilizations. Protein content is very high for a cereal/pseudo-cereal (14%
By mass), but not as high as most beans and legumes. This includes a "low gluten content" that appears to be well tolerated when consumed at normal levels by people with celiac disease. The protein content per 100 calories is higher than brown rice, potatoes, barley and millet, but is less than wild rice and oats. Nutritional evaluations indicate that quinoa is a source of complete protein. Other sources claim its protein is not complete but relatively high inessential amino acids. Other pseudo grains derived from seeds are similar in complete protein levels; buckwheat is 18% protein compared to 14% for Quinoa; Amaranth, a species related to Quinoa, ranges from 12% to 17.5%. 4

From pasta to meat, risotto, seafood and pizza - all delicious, high-quality and abundant you're sure to find something to satisfy your every craving at Piegari. Worth mentioning from the dessert menu are the home-made cakes, prepared with fresh ingredients from local markets.
This high-end Italian restaurant is popular with tourists since it is located facing the front door of the hotel Los Tajibos and the prices match the address. Still, the food and service are consistently good. Mushroom risotto and spinach and ricotta raviolis are recommended. Portions are generous—both appetizer and desserts are big enough to share between two, or ask for a half portion. White linen-topped tables are crammed in tight, but mirrors and large windows make it feel spacious inside.

High Wines, the secret of Tarija`s valley Bolivia is a producer of many different strains of wine and the famous Singani our national distillate, however Tarija is far from the latitudes of the planet where the vine delivers its best sugars for the production of wine and much higher heights where in the plant produces it best wines.
Wine production in the world is concentrated between 30 and 50 degrees of latitude north and south. Tarija is outside the zone between 21 and 23 degrees in the southern hemisphere and a height that is between 1,600 and 2,400 meters above sea level.
29 29
Despite these difficulties and thanks to them Tarija is the most suitable area of Bolivia for growing wine, Tarija’s wine accounts with special and unique features, the geography of the place, a greater height is bigger and better solar radiation, and the amplitude temperature is higher (warmer days and cooler nights). Which produces an ideal climate development of the vines. On the high the winds clean the air, vegetation has excellent health thanks to the absence of pesticides, Tarija soils are poor and stony with high levels of iron and calcium and water from snowmelt distilled purity. In addition, rainfall is often scarce. All these factors produce a unique and very complex Terroir, red wines enjoy high levels of tannins and good color and bodied so that whites has intense flavors and balanced acidity. That's why Tarija wines are so special because they are born is this hidden valley in the world and that gives their wines all the strength and intensity of its soil, creating a wonderful and unique product.
