WEEKLY ARTICLE
Food Bullying ~ The Quinoa Wars
Quinoa has been "around" for thousands of years, and provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, such as vitamin B, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, all of which help to support our overall health.
In fact, modern science has come to consider quinoa as nutritious as mother's milk, and the United Nations declared the year 2013 International Quinoa Year. Somewhere. We missed that here at Wholly Macro, but internationally, quinoa is very important as an abundant and stable food source, able to very nutritiously feed the world.
Quinoa is a naturally gluten free grain / seed and is a complete source of protein, containing all of the essential amino acids.
It is also high in the all around important omega 3 fatty acids, and is rich in quercetin and other similar phyto chemicals that help the body to maintain healthy inflammation levels.
Not only that, but it tastes great too! You'll love it in this weeks Forbidden Temple Black Rice and White Quinoa dish.
We are so happy to provide it for you via our delicious and nutritious cutting edge Wholly Macro menu's, and were somewhat saddened to read a little about it's source recently, including what quinoa goes through in these modern times in order to find it's way to our table.

And no, quinoas source is not Whole Foods!
Bolivia and Peru are the two main producers of this Andean Mountain super food.
And as international demand for quinoa continues to increase, in leaps and bounds in fact, feuding between Bolivia and Peru has ensued.
The fight is between traditional organic growers in Bolivia, and heavy pesticide use agribusiness growers in Peru who are cheapening their product, and the quality of the quinoa that we receive, while crowding Bolivia out of the quinoa business.
Peru produces a cheaper factory farmed version of quinoa.
A decade ago, Bolivia produced 90% of global sales of quinoa while Peru only produced 6%.
But Peru is about to bypass Bolivia this year and become the top exporter of Quinoa.
And while all is fair in love and war, Peru's higher output of Quinoa stems from its greater use of insecticides and chemical fertilizers.
Peru's lower lying lands produce two harvests a year, albeit a smaller and presumably less nutrient dense version than the heirloom Bolivian highland variety.
Not only that, but Peru's low lying quinoa is apt to be further contaminated by pesticide overuse because it is grown on land previously occupied by other crops.
Bugs love quinoa from what we read, but few pests survive the highlands of the Bolivian Andes Mountains! Therefore, Bolivian highland quinoa grows slower, richer, and stronger, with less threat of a pest invasion and much more sustainable organic growing practices.
Is it hard for you to imagine the Andes Mountains?
We feel a short Wholly Macro True story coming on!

When I was 20 years old, I went backpacking in South America.
In the summertime.
And it was beyond freezing high in the Andes!
At one point we took a train from the warm beaches of Chile, over the "Altiplano" to La Paz Bolivia.
 | Altiplano
Andean plateau where the Andes are at their widest - the most extensive area of
high plateau on earth outside of Tibet |
La Paz is a fantastic city by the way!
We got on the train, back packs in tow, and were soon surrounded by South American Indians carrying stacks of beautifully woven colorful wool blankets.
We did wonder why they had so many blankets, and deducted that they must be bringing them to La Paz to sell at the market(s).
We were so wrong!
As the train proceeded over the Altiplano, and directly UP into the city of La Paz, located high in the Andes Mountains, the temperature on the unheated train must have dropped 50 plus degrees, from 80 degrees Fahrenheit to below freezing. Thick ice formed on the inside of the windows of the train, and we begged our fellow passengers to sell us a few of their blankets.
Nothing doing!
They proceeded to use their blankets to keep themselves warm.
Every single one of their blankets in fact.
We dug through our backpacks and put on every bit of clothing we owned, which was not much, and to no avail.
We were totally frozen by the time we got to Bolivia, (thank god we were young!), and we really could have used some of that hardy heirloom Bolivian quinoa to warm and super nourish our weary bones!
But of course, who ever even heard of quinoa way back then!
We bought a few woolen blankets instead and still use them, to this day!
Times have changed.
We have heard of quinoa now.
And here at Wholly Macro we always seek out truly organic heirloom Bolivian quinoa.
We want to eat grains from the plants that strongly stand up to the cold clean winds of the Bolivian highlands.
We want that very quinoa to impart its strength to us!
And we want it to be clean and pure.
Not heavily laden with pesticides.
Point in fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been rejecting some shipments of quinoa from Peru because of high pesticide residues.
That has got to be serious!
And yes, the organic Bolivian quinoa costs more than the commercial varieties, but in the food bullying quinoa wars, it is of utmost importance to support the organic growers, and thereby protect our health, protect authentic food sources, protect the brave organic farmers, and protect future humans.
We urge you to file this important information somewhere in your "filing system" and be sure that you are buying, eating, using, and supporting authentic organic Bolivian quinoa and not it's more commercial counterpart.
Happy Holidays Everyone.
We'll look forward to being back with you in 2015!

May a guiding star lead you to peace and happiness,
for the holidays, and throughout the coming year.

**Wholly Macro makes every attempt to maintain a totally vegan and allergen free kitchen cooking environment. We make every effort to avoid any type of cross contamination during food preparation. Most foods used in the Wholly Macro kitchen are not packaged, but instead are bought in the produce section or in bulk. But as you know, cross contamination is always a possibility, especially with bulk items. And in the few packaged foods that we do use, such as nut butters for example, it is common to find warnings on the manufacturer label stating that the item was processed in a plant that handles tree nuts, soy, wheat, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and so on.
Wholly Macro cannot be responsible for trace amounts of common food allergens that come from outside (packaged or bulk items), and therefore end up occurring within our prepared foods. Please use your own discretion in determining if our food is appropriate for your consumption, especially if you have severe food allergies.
We are always available to clarify any of the ingredients that we use, and assist you in your weekly selections, but we cannot keep track of your food allergies, sensitivities, likes, dislikes or preferences.

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor |
