          It is a crop that is made into a flour and baked. Asked my sister who is into natural food.

              That is correct. However, there is another definition that is in the poll. I'll let you know which one it is tomorrow morning. In the meantime, take a shot at it.

                  If my shop wasn't such a mess I might be able to find my quinoa
                  and it wouldn't be so rarely used.

                      I know what it is but only because I have a cousin who mentioned this back at Thanksgiving.

                              The correct solution is one word, not two words as spelled in the poll. As written, none of the solutions is correct.

                                      Sorry. I cheated before I read the first post. I had no clue. You see with Firefox, there is this add on feature where you hover over a word and right click and it will take you to Answers.com where they seem to know everything.
                                      It's a cool feature and I cheated without thinking about it. My bad. No! Firefox good.

                                              That's correct. I never claimed to know the word myself. The correct answer is goosefoot. I just happened to be glancing through the dictionary, and saw the word. But it was a fun time anyhow. Now if I could just build something with it.
