The French Vanilla variety from Wild Garden Seeds looks interesting.

I've wanted to grow quinoa in my small garden for a while, and I'm not even sure I like quinoa! But when I think of growing grains, I recall Carol Deppe's discussion in her book The Resilient Gardener. She loves to process corn, but she says, "For many grains, it is the problems with threshing or dehulling that limit the grain's usefulness when grown on a home scale." She doesn't mention quinoa, though.

By the way, 2013 is the International Year of the Quinoa.
