      abstract = {Rural and urban households consume quinoa due to its high  nutritional value. Frequent intake administered in the diet  of university students may contribute to their better  academic performance. The article aimed to analyze the  association between consumption habits of quinoa as food  with high nutritional value and the academic performance of  university students in Southern Peru. A quantitative,  descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional approach  was used to develop the study. To collect the information,  the random survey technique was applied to students who  have completed at least four academic semesters at three  major universities in southern Peru: Universidad Nacional  del Altiplano, Universidad Nacional San Augustin de  Arequipa, and Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del  Cusco. The study was based on primary sources of  information, by using an online survey applied to a  proportional sample of 384 students at the time of the  COVID-19 pandemic. The study variables were quinoa  consumption habits, in its dimensions: frequency of  consumption, reasons for consumption and consumption  beliefs, and the variable academic performance. Pearson's  Chi-square statistical test was used to uncover the  connection between variables. The main results indicated  that students consume quinoa in its different  presentations, with regular frequencies during the week, to  achieve high grades in their studies, which range reached  between 14-16 (vigesimal scale) for the highest percentage  of the study participants. In addition, quinoa consumption  has allowed 18% of students to lean towards studies with a  certain complexity, such as problem-solving. It was  concluded that the consumption of quinoa would help  students to improve their academic performance in the  different subjects they take during the semesters, so it is  inferred that there is an association between these  variables. However, the difficulty of accessing students'  real grades due to the pandemic limited the scope of these  findings.},
