Kañiwa is a species of goosefoot, similar in character and uses to the closely related quinoa. It has important beneficial characteristics including: tolerance of high mountain conditions, high protein content, and a lack of the saponins which complicate quinoa use. However, its domestication is not complete and non-uniformity of grain ripening is a limitation.
