Upright annual plants develop long, colourful panicles that create a striking garden display before the seed harvest. Each packet contains 400 seeds. Ferme Tourne-Sol lists maturity at about 100 days, a useful timeframe for Canadian gardens with defined growing seasons. This quinoa lets gardeners follow every stage of an ancient grain crop, from the tiny planted seed to mature heads ready for careful drying, threshing, and winnowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors for about four weeks or sow directly in spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Young plants tolerate light frost. Place the small seeds 3 to 6 mm deep in loose, well-drained soil, then maintain even moisture until emergence. Thin plants to 25 or 45 cm apart according to available space and provide full sun. Weed early because quinoa grows slowly while establishing its taproot. A moderate compost application is generally sufficient; excessive nitrogen may delay maturity and encourage lodging. Water consistently during flowering and seed filling when rainfall is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest when leaves yellow or fall, panicles are dry, and seeds resist pressure from a fingernail. Cut stalks in dry weather, hang or spread them in an airy location, then thresh the panicles once completely dry. A screen followed by gentle winnowing separates seed from chaff. Quinoa grain naturally carries a bitter saponin coating, so rinse it very thoroughly in several changes of water before cooking. Cooked seed complements salads, grain bowls, soups, and roasted vegetables. Store fully dried grain in a clean, labelled container away from moisture, heat, and direct light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tourne-sol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52247205609632,"sku":"CH503-a","price":4.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/QuinoaArc-en-Ciel.png?v=1771265793"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/collections\/quinoa-seeds.oembed","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
