Description

The listing, QUINOA Cochabamba RED (25+ seeds) has ended.

High yielding strain quinoa from Bolivia
RED 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.

Due to a job I have, the hours are ever changing..can be early morning, afternoon and evening plus the drive takes me in opposite direction from post office (not to mention they are not open when I do have time) Please bear with me any winner of these seeds. They will be sent as soon as possible! Right now it seems to be a down time and I'm not on the schedule even tho this can change but I will inform the winner.

Sorry...I forgot to answer your question! Shish....anyways, yes it likes cooler weather and if it is at night temps I believe it should do well. Plant when the ground temp is at 60 degrees...shortly after last frost then you should be fine but will need the warm soil to sprout and spring is best time to do this.

mycozym, it will depend on when I'm called back to work, with the strange hours, being not sure when I will be able to get to the post office. Not wanting to make people wait. Almost was 2 weeks before I could ship out seeds from last auction.
