I agree, powdered wheat tends to be cheaper to produce? make more people happy? (give dopa to more?)
Guess that's why *cough* the nations *cough* are trending towards a monoculture of whitebreads?
Going to cleanse starkinds conciousness of this 'we' business <3

I don't even think it's cheaper to produce. This past summer, I literally sprinkled a 3 finger pinch into 3 1" x 30" troughs spaced 6" apart in a raised bed, and it resulted in a veritable stand of growth. Less than 1/4 of 1oz of quinoa netted about 12 pounds. Fairly easy to pulverize into a gluten-free flour with a mortar and pestle, and you can pretty much eat the entire plant as well, although you would probably want to stick to newer growth like Okra, which tends to get really fiberous the longer you leave it on the stalk.
BTW, since Quinoa is a gluten-free grain, you would probably want to dry and pulverize Okra to use as a binding agent in a quinoa dough. Okra is a really great thickener on its own merit, and will allow you to step entirely away from corn/rice/wheat starches for any application which you would use those under "normal" circumstances; whatever that means.
