Due to recent studies, quinoa is regarded as a new food resource with great benefits for human beings. Due to its high value in nutrients, this kind of wheat is being exploited in the food industry as a new food resource. However, currently some questions relating to quinoa have been raised: (1) How to scientifically exploit and process quinoa? (2) What are the functional nutrients in quinoa? (3) What are the bottlenecks for quinoa processing? (4) How to eliminate or mitigate the technical bottlenecks for quinoa? Without answering these questions, the academic research and industrial application of quinoa would be negatively impacted. This book reviews the history and culture associated with quinoa. The cultivation model and growth conditions of quinoa are discussed as well how to direct the technicians on farms to manage the quinoa cultivation. This book uses experimental data to describe how to use quinoa in food production. The strengths of quinoa will be summarised by the comparison between quinoa and other types of wheat. The processing technologies and potential solutions to current technical problems are also emphasised in this book. Both academic research and industrial applications are included in this book. This book could be used by technicians to cultivate quinoa and produce quinoa based food products as well as by the researchers to promote their research on active compounds in quinoa.
