Organic Canadian quinoa will be available at the Monday market at the Hole in One. $80 pesos for 500grams (17.6 oz). Look for the table selling sourdough bread and bagels. I checked Superlake today and their 12oz packages (non-organic) is priced at over $100.

I cooked up the Canadian quinoa today and everyone in the family enjoyed them. It was the first time for both the eight and five year old boys and both gave their thumbs up.

Mio,
What duty do you pay on the Canadian quinoa?
Thanks,
Chuck

I am going to be experimenting w/ cultivation of quinoa. Seems like fall/winter would be best time locally, but I am going to try the first batch now as should be able to harvest before the typical rain season begins. It takes 3 to 4 months and about 16 plants to produce 2-3 lbs of seeds. The leaves of the quinoa plants are also nutritious and similar to spinach and beet greens. I will report back.
