Other: Quinoa is both a superfood that is edible in various ways and an ornamental plant. The young juicy leaves, harvested for greens, have a salty spinach-like flavor and contain more iron than spinach. The large, showy white flower heads turn into ornamental seed heads. Quinoa is grown as a grain crop for its seeds, which have a mild nutty flavor and can be cooked similar to rice or ground into flour. It is a health food rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, making it a complete protein source ideal for vegans and vegetarians. The plants can tolerate drought, frost, and coastal conditions.
