Quinoa (/ËkiËnoÊ.É/ , 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 Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), declared 2013 to be the International Year of Quinoa.
Re: Average monthly costs of owning a boat. Around here you can spend $150-$200 a month to keep your boat on the water at a coveered marina, half to 2/3 of that if its uncovered in the water. A storage shed in the $50-$80 a month range around the lake at at a marina in the $100 range for dry storage.
1 Plan on spending anywhere from $2 to $5 per foot, per month. 2  For instance, higher-end storage units will have electric gates, 24/7 security, dumpsters and even a wash down area, while your lower-end storage places will just let you park the boat in the a parking lot surrounded by barbed wire and that is it. If you do not want your boat covered, the prices will range from $55 to as much as $150 per month. 2  Again, this will depend on the amount of space that you need. 3  Most, if not all storage facilities will include a secure gate that requires a pass code, a designated parking spot if parked outside or indoor garage.
