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.
I&#39;m 22 years old and moving out of my parents&#39; house soon, and I thought instead of buying/renting an apartment, to buy a boat I could live on (Not sure if it&#39;s possible to rent. If it is, then that&#39;s a possible option). I&#39;d probably want to live-aboard for about 3-5 years....ost Marinas will charge you a minimum of $10 per foot (boat length)... Therefore, if you have a 30' vessel, you are out $300 a month in slip rental... You also have utility hook-ups (water, electric, cable, etc. and in some cases sewer or pump-out). That will quickly add up to another $200.
