Temuco(Chenopodium quinoa )HeritageThis is a variety of Quinoa selected for ease of growing at sea level - Quinoa is normally found in high altitudes. It is also a very short season grain. We grew two crops here last season - one planted after the other was harvested. Staggering short season grain crops is a good way to help avoid disasters - like heavy rain at harvest time. The seeds of this variety are blond which means they have less saponin in the seed coat which means you don’t have to rinse them for so long to remove the bitterness. This one makes a great milk pudding a-la rice pudding. |
