Description

The listing, QUINOA Cochabamba (20 seeds) has ended.

High yielding strain quinoa from Bolivia
Yellow seed color.
I have been wanting to grow Quinoa for several years because of all the health benefits! I believe this is the highest in protein (12-19%) High in Lysine (essential amino acid that your body needs)
Leaves are also excellent in salads with a mild sweet flavor. Also good if cooked like spinach. When harvesting the seeds, you will want to wash in water to remove saponins which are a natural protectant from insects.
Once considered the "Mother seed" of the Incas. It is a powerhouse of nutrients! It is listed and known as one of the best sources of vegetable protein known in the world. Used as cerial, make breads, flour...many uses.
Grows 4-6ft with large seed heads. States on package it is easy to sprout.
If credits go over100, I will include 50+ seeds of RED Quinoa. If credits go over 200, I will include 50+ seeds of BLACK quinoa. These are Organic heirloom varieties

Hey there, I would like to bid on these seeds, but i don't want the other lady to be pushed out. Do you have more than this. I have been planning for and expecting this crisis for some time as well. Recently went vegan, too, so I could definitely use some quinoa plants around. Let me know and I will bid if you have more. Thank you.

Hi groovy, I have lots of the red and black quinoa but am very limited on the yellow. They sell out fast on sites. I don't believe there is a difference in nutrition it's just for the color.
