Got in late tonight , I was hanging out at the weekly cooking thread - they were talking about appetizers and quinoa.
Given quinoa's lack of any glutten, and high it's high protein content, it makes a good glutten substitute.
I tripped cross a website where the gardener grows heirloom, heritage corn, chilies, beans, peppers and quinoa (red/ green/black),if anybody is interested in Napa Valley, Calf.
the website is worth a look at:

Thanks for the link. IIRC, quinoa is a grain that is considered a complete protein.

I posted a comment in the cooking thread, but for those here who don’t read that, lambsquarters is a wild form of quinoa. the last 2 years I’ve purposely let some go to seed in an unused corner of the garden, just so I could harvest the seeds.

Still working on a more efficient way to winnow them. I built a bucket thresh and a hand-cranked dehuller that both work on them, but the winnowing is tricky. Not to mention dusty!
