Certified Organic Quinoa Seeds for Organic Vegetable Growing - West Coast Seeds
Quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah") has been grown for thousands of years as a grain crop. Its seeds can be cooked and eaten like bulgar or dried and ground into flour. Leaves of young plants are also edible - and tasty! Make sure to rinse the bitter coating off the harvested seeds prior to cooking, eating, storage, or for use as wild bird seed. Just rinse under cold water as you would rice, but for 2 to 3 minutes.

They were held sacred in ancient Inca and Aztec cultures.
