Other details:
Quinoa is both a superfood that is edible in various ways and a lovely ornamental. The young juicy leaves can be harvested for greens, and have a salty spinach-like flavor. They contain more iron than spinach. The large showy flower heads transform into ornamental seed heads that are equally lovely. Grown as a grain crop, the seeds of Quinoa have a mild nutty flavor and can be eaten cooked similar to rice, or ground into a flour. It is a great health food, high in protein and fiber, vitamins and minerals, and amino acids. Quinoa is gluten-free and a “complete” protein, making it excellent for vegans and vegetarians. The plants are capable of tolerating drought, frost, and coastal conditions. Originally native to the Andes Mountain region of South America, Quinoa has been cultivated as an edible for 5000 years and has gained popularity worldwide.
Brilliant Rainbow Quinoa is an ideal choice for both newcomers to Quinoa and experienced growers, offering a vibrant array of colors in the mix.
