Scientific name: Chenopodium quinoa Location: Western Washington, WA, USA Copyright: © Janet Horton Photographer Code: 093011-55-QuinoaPlant AGPix ID: AGPix_jhorton_3550 Digital Original Comments: It is a species of goosefoot and is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds. Quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it a complete protein source, unusual among plant foods.
