Seed Quality and Protein Classification of Some Quinoa Varieties
Quinoa plants, originating from the Andean mountains in South America, have a large scale of biological diversity. Along with the cultivation favorableness of quinoa, it reveals superior nutrition aspects. In comparison with cereal crops, like rice, maize, and wheat, quinoa seeds contain valuable qu...

Quinoa plants, originating from the Andean mountains in South America, have a large scale of biological diversity.

In comparison with cereal crops, like rice, maize, and wheat, quinoa seeds contain valuable quantities of the protein of remarkable quality. The current study compared four quinoa cultivars from different origins in terms of protein composition and germinability. In addition, this study focused on the effect of different geographical cultivation areas on the protein composition of wild Egyptian quinoa seeds and three other cultivars that vary in their cultivation origins.
