What does NASA thinks about quinoa?
Because of its nutritional features, quinoa has the potential to be used as a crop in NASA’s Controlled Ecological Support Systems for use during long manned spaceflights (eg, to Mars). Full and complete nutrition can be accomplished with an appropriate selection of plant-based foods.
