Chenopodium quinoa
About Quinoa
A highly nutritious pseudo-cereal traditionally from the Andes. It has been successfully adapted to the North Indian Rabi (winter) season. In terrace bags, it requires deep pots to support its height and large panicles. Indian-adapted lines are essential, as imported seeds often fail to set seed in UP's climate.
