In this paper the possibility of using commercially available quinoa seeds (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) to receive sprouts was investigated. The study was conducted on sprouts derived from quinoa seeds and, for comparative purposes, of sprouts of radish seeds variety Mila. The suitability of seeds was investigated on the basis of their sowing quality. Furthermore, obtained sprouts were subjected to sensory assessment, were appearance, aroma, texture and more were examined against a five-point scale. In comparison with seeds of radish, quinoa seeds had significantly lower germination capacity (73%) and higher rates of incidence of fungal infections (8%). Based on the obtained results, it is possible to obtain good quality sprouts from quinoa seed. Sprouts obtained from quinoa seeds, like radish seeds, received good overall assessment scores in the sensory test. Quinoa sprouts have a distinctive colour, which means that the colour components of CIE L* a* b*are statistically significantly different from the parameters of the radish sprouts. However, their colour, bright green leaves and pink stems and roots, may be desirable and very attractive to consumers. Further studies on both the conditions of the germination process and on preparation for the production of sprouts of quinoa seeds directly derived from crops are needed.
