Quinoa. A new cash crop for Pakistani farmers


Quinoa is a species of the goosefoot genus, a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family.

It has been introduced here in this country by Dr. Shahzad Basra (Faisalabad Agriculture University) as new cash crop for the Pakistani farmers.
