Quinoa

Quinoa (/ˈkn.ə/, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa ) is a species of the goosefoot genus (Chenopodium quinoa), a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds. As a member of the Amaranthaceae family, it is related to and resembles amaranth, which is also a pseudocereal.

It is high in protein, and is tolerant of dry soil. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) declared 2013 to be the International Year of Quinoa.Chenopodium formosanum is a Taiwanese variant of Red quinoa that is endemic to Taiwan, and is widely grown in Eastern and Southern Taiwanese Aboriginal cultures.

Overview

Quinoa originated in the Andean region of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Chile, and was domesticated 3,000 to 4,000 years ago for human consumption in the Lake Titicaca basin, though archaeological evidence shows a non-domesticated association with pastoral herding some 5,200 to 7,000 years ago.

Quinoa (album)

Quinoa is an album released in 1992 by the German band Tangerine Dream.

Background

Quinoa was released as a limited edition of 1000 copies. It was sent out as a special gift to members of the now defunct official TD International Fan Club, and the remaining copies were sold during their German tour in 1997. The CD featured one single composition "Quinoa" of 28 minutes.

The album was re-issued in 1998 on their new label TDI. It was sold in unlimited quantity, and contained two bonus tracks. One of these tracks, "Voxel Ux", was originally composed for a competition on the band's official 1996 homepage. The winner received a CDR with the track, of which there is only one copy. "Lhasa" was described as the first movement in TD's "Tibetan Cycle", with 6 other tracks within the cycle that remained unreleased until 2000, when they were released as the album The Seven Letters From Tibet. "Lhasa" was extended and became the track "The Blue Pearl".

In March 2009, Quinoa was re-issued again on Membran Music Ltd with new cover art as part of the band's extensive digipack series.

    Need Your Loving Tonight

    by: Queen

    (Album: The Game, 1980)
    "Yeah
    Hey hey hey
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    You promised me, you'd keep in touch
    I read your letter and it hurt me so much
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I don't wanna feel like a stranger (no)
    'Cos I'd rather stay out of danger
    I read your letter so many times
    I got your meaning between the lines
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
    I only hope as time goes on I'll forget her
    My body's aching, can't sleep at night
    I'm too exhausted to start a fight
    And if I see her with another guy
    I'll eat my heart out 'cos I love, love, love, love her
    Come on baby, let's get together
    I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
    I'm trying hard to stay away
    What made you change, what did I say ?
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving babe tonight (Hit me)
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    Gave me no warning, how could I guess
    I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
