Hi, Jovanka. I eat quinoa. I’m a vegetarian and I eat gluten free due to having celiac disease. It’s a staple of mine. But I could certainly reduce my intake based on what you’ve shared here.
I do too and I am reducing my consumption by 15% or so until other countries start producing it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here!
