Quinoa is a highly nutritious food product, being cultivated for several thousands years in South America, with an outstanding protein quality and a high content of a range of vitamins and minerals. Other positive aspects of quinoa are the saponins found in the seed hull and the lack of gluten. Quinoa is one of the main food crops in the Andean mountains, but during recent times there has been increased interest for the product in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Quinoa has been selected by…

Characterisation of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) accessions for the saponin content in Mediterranean environment
- Biology
- 2016
It was possible to identify, among the accessions previously selected, particularly suitable for growing in Mediterranean area, some genotypes with high yields of seed and high protein and fibres and low content in saponins, suggesting the possibility of selecting genotypes sweet to be used in subsequent genetic improvement programs.
