Quinoa Mix of three varieties
Mint Vanilla Quinoa
Known as a superfood
Mint Vanilla quinoa seeds produce tall, dark green foliage topped by bright white seed heads and seeds, tinged with pale green. This variety is well adapted to coastal growing and productive even when summers are not so hot. The light colour of the seed heads give it a particularly ornamental appeal. Quinoa is very high in protein and fiber, but it contains no gluten. It is widely celebrated as a super-food, a nutrient rich and easy to grow crop for the home gardener. Growing quinoa is easier than you might think. A relatively small bed of it can produce a pound or more of dried quinoa seeds.
Matures 100 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
Cherry Vanilla Quinoa
This variety is so attractive in the garden with its pink and cream coloured seed heads. It bears the whitest seeds off all our varieties. Cherry Vanilla has particularly tasty baby leaves, so it is an outstanding baby salad green choice. The tall plants bear copious decorative flower clusters followed by huge quantities of tiny edible seeds. To harvest quinoa seeds, cut the seed heads about 60cm (24″) down the stem and gather them for drying in small bundles. Dry the bundles indoors, out of direct sunlight. Then bash the bundles inside paper yard waste bags, and the seeds will fall out. It is then easy to separate the dense seeds from the light chaff.
Matures in 100 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
French Vanilla Quinoa
Its large seed heads look like overloaded ice cream cones. This new variety reaches 2-2.4m (6-7′) tall. Plants produce fewer branches when spaced 30cm (12″) apart in rows 40 cm (16″) apart. The large heads ripen uniformly, making harvest more straightforward than in varieties with many large branches. French Vanilla quinoa seeds are white or buff in colour. The best way to harvest quinoa seeds is to use a large paper yard waste bag. Once the seed heads have been allowed to dry completely, they can be bashed about into the bag, which will catch all the seeds and chaff. The seeds are more dense than the chaff, so they can be winnowed by tossing upwards and catching in a bowl. The chaff should blow off bit by bit, leaving only the seeds behind.
Matures in 100 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
Note this a Mix of three kinds of quinoa all in the same package NOT individual.
