Are these paragraphs from a longer article:
Increasing demand here for quinoa - which can be boiled or otherwise
prepared in a variety of ricelike dishes - has driven up the price,
persuading many farmers who grew wheat, corn or barley in Bolivia and
Peru to plant quinoa as well, said Rabbi Menachem Genack, director of
the kosher department of the New York-based Orthodox Union, the
world's largest kashrut certification agency.
And there is the potential rub, Rabbi Genack explained. Some
inspectors have found traces of wheat, and other grains susceptible
to leavening in the cooking process, mixed in with quinoa shipped by
some farmers, he said.
"They may be using the same equipment or bags to harvest a field of
quinoa, and a field of something else," he said. "Things easily get mixed up."
