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.
