Abstract

Quinoa is one of the most nutritious food crops and is climate-resilient due to its ability to survive harsh environments. Quinoa seed is gluten-free and rich in essential amino acids, including lysine, methionine, and threonine, unlike cereals and grain legumes. The nutritional values of quinoa seeds surpass the World Health Organization's daily recommendation. In addition to its nutritional traits, quinoa tolerates several abiotic stresses, including frost, salinity, and drought, and resists various diseases and pests. Quinoa provides opportunities for agricultural diversification to address hunger and malnutrition in a changing climate.
