Australia launching its first quinoa variety: "kruso white"

Australias' first open-access variety of quinoa was launched in Kununurra on Tuesday, following an extensive State government-led breeding program. The new variety, Kruso White, will support the development of Western Australia's fledgling quinoa industry. The variety was named after the Kununurra Research Unit Station Office, where much of the plant breeding research was undertaken for the new generation superfood and the variety's highly desired color.
