{"product_id":"high-desert-quinoa-grain-seeds","title":"High Desert Quinoa Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigh Desert Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa ) is an evolving population developed from five quinoa selections and maintained by the breeder for more than a decade. Plants are typically about waist high and mature in approximately 100 days, producing large white seed and colorful fall heads in shades of purple, orange, and pink. Young leaves can also be harvested for salad greens. Direct-sow in spring in finely prepared, well-drained soil. Mix the small seed with dry sand for more even distribution and space rows about 24 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eChenopodium quinoa\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Desert Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa ) is an evolving population developed from five quinoa selections and maintained by the breeder for more than a decade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring or Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarting location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Sow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded soil pH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.1 - 6.5 or 6.6 - 7.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the product-specific sowing figures for High Desert Quinoa as the starting point, then adjust timing to local soil temperature and frost conditions. Prepare the bed before planting, preserve the recorded spacing, and evaluate moisture at root depth instead of following a universal calendar. Watch development as the stated maturity window approaches and harvest at the size, texture, or color preferred for the crop. Label the row with the sowing date so actual performance can inform future plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing High Desert Quinoa, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/quinoa-seeds\"\u003eQuinoa Seeds collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Desert Seed and Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40223819071601,"sku":"SNV9007","price":5.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/SNV9007-HighDesertSeedandGardensHighDesertQuinoaGrainSeeds-1.jpg?v=1747081240","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/high-desert-quinoa-grain-seeds","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
