The main objective of the study was to investigate the market, technical, agronomic and economic feasibilities of producing quinoa in Alberta and selling it in domestic and international markets. The ultimate goal is to introduce quinoa to Alberta as a source of a starch, fat replacing ingredient in many diet products, high quality protein and saponin products for industry, and as a contribution to crop diversification and the competitive use of set-aside or marginal lands.
