Usages
Only cultivated as grain crop or ornamental, subdivided into the following two subspecies, earlier mostly described as true species:
- subsp. caudatus : As a grain crop cultivated in the Andes from Ecuador to NW Argentina, especially in Peru and Bolivia, in the valleys and marginal ranges of the Himalaya from Kashmir to Bhutan, also in other parts of India, especially in the South, in W China, SE Asia and in Ethiopia. As an ornamental however cultivated in many countries of the world. The seeds, rich in protein, are used in various ways, they are parched and cooked to gruel, milled for flour, popped and mixed with honey for special confections, prepared for beer (Peru, Ethiopia). The species originated in South America (pre-Columbian remnants, early records by the Spanish conquistadores); it was introduced to Europe already in the 16th cent.; A. quitensis may be the ancestral species; hybrids between the cultigen and this species have been reported. After serious dwindling of the cultivation until the middle of the 20th cent. new impetus led to modern breeding programs, e.g. in India and Peru (several recent cultivars), many cultivation experiments etc.
- subsp. mantegazzianus : Cultivated as a grain crop in the valleys of the Andes in NW Argentina, also mostly on small plots. Usage as in subsp. caudatus, traditional endemic crop.
