Quinoa: a new protein source

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

When considering new protein-rich crops, people commonly propose leguminous crops. However, we show that a non-legume like quinoa has a good protein content, an excellent amino-acid composition, no gluten, and produces good yields under less favourable conditions (salinity, drought).
