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.
Clearly, then, the monthly ownership costs of a swimming pool is $100 or more every month. Still, that's not for a backyard recreation facility available 365 days per year, 24/7. If you are building a new pool, or renovating an existing pool, you have an opportunity to minimize your costs substantially. A pool service company will charge anywhere from $50 to several hundred dollars per month to care for your pool. 2  The average is probably about $100. 3  Make sure you know whether or not the charge includes all the chemicals. 4  Most people shop these guys for price, which is not always the best method.
