| MP Notes: Quinoa is a Chenopodium, relative of Chenopodium album, or | ||
| Lambsquarter’s, which folks here me talk about, see me grow. Quinoa is | ||
| relatively new to many of us, but traces its roots to the Andes. It’s not | ||
| really new, but was domesticated 3 – 4000 years ago! It is a carb, but it has | ||
| significant protein, vitamins and minerals. Good, nutty rice replacement. | ||
