An excellent variety to start with. Rare, beautiful and productive quinoa from Chile. Five foot plants have large yields of small white seeds from a beautiful red/orange/gold inflorescence. Matures well in areas with a fairly short season and cool nights. Tasty with good biomass production for compost as well. Stands 5-6 feet tall.
