At high temperatures, in the presence of quarks, QCD has one stable and two metastable Z(3) vacua. A scenario is proposed in which the universe, after inflationary expansion (for example, at the grand unified scale) lies in one of these metastable vacua. The metastable vacuum decayed at T of about 10 TeV. The inhomogeneities caused by this phase transition are over one-tenth of the horizon radius. As a result of a large pressure difference between stable and metastable vacua their density contrast is also large.
