Fact: A Unique Crop
Quinoa is a fascinating plant that grows in a way that’s unlike most other crops. Rather than producing a single seed head like wheat or corn, quinoa plants create clusters of tiny, bead-like seeds that grow on tall stalks. As the seeds mature, the stalks turn brilliant shades of pink, red, and purple, creating a striking contrast against the bright green leaves.
Harvesting it is labor-intensive, requiring the seeds to be hand-picked and then threshed to remove the outer layer. But for quinoa enthusiasts, it’s a labor of love well worth the effort.
