Quinoa Organic Baby Canawa – 25#** – Bulk Items – Associated Buyers.
A quinoa seed straight off the plant is unpalatable due the saponin coating. Commercially available quinoa in the United States has been washed to remove the saponin. Canawa is in the same family as quinoa and is similarly high in protein and has a very favorable amino acid profile, but does not have the saponin coating. Wikipedia (in English) does not yet have a canawa entry, and canawa appeared just last week in my local natural grocery.
