Comparison of the Chemical Composition of Six Canihua () Cultivars Associated with Growth Habits and after Dehulling.

The canihua () is a native Andean crop that stands out for its high content of protein, fiber, and minerals and that has a good fatty acid profile. We studied six canihuas cultivars, which were compared according to their proximate, mineral, and fatty acid composition. Based on the form of stems, termed growth habit, they belonged to two groups: decumbent (, , , and ) and ascending ( and ).
