About:
Chenopodium pallidicaule, sometimes known as Cañihua, Canihua, Kañiwa, is a species of goosefoot, similar in character and uses to the closely related quinoa.
It has important beneficial characteristics including tolerance of high mountain conditions, high protein content,high antioxidant capacity and phenolic content and a lack of the saponins which complicate quinoa use.
However, its domestication is not complete, and non-uniformity of grain ripening is a limitation.
