Quinoa

Quinoa is an ancient Andean grain that thrives in a Growing Dome despite being far outside the climate where it originated. The dome's altitude tolerance, controlled environment, and extended season let dome owners grow this protein-rich pseudocereal at home, alongside the fresh produce that pairs so naturally with it. From planting through harvest to the kitchen, dome owners are growing and cooking with their own quinoa in ways most home gardeners never get to. Explore variety selection and growing practices, harvesting and processing the seed heads, and recipes built around dome quinoa: grain salads with fresh herbs and greens, vegetable bowls, breakfast preparations, and the cooking that makes the most of fresh dome ingredients.
