Chenopodium quinoa, commonly known as quinoa, has edible leaves and fruits (referred to as seeds or achenes). Quinoa is a good source of lysine, methionine, and linoleic acid, making it a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans as a protein source. Amaranthus caudatus and Lupinus mutabilis also have edible leaves and seeds, but their nutritional profile differs from that of quinoa. Solanum quitoense and Oxalis tuberosa have edible fruits and roots, respectively, but their nutritional profile is not similar to that of quinoa.
