Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a food crop highly valued for being nutritious and health-promoting. As quinoa grains contain more oil than cereals, the fatty acid profile is an important nutritional criterion. The tocopherol family, with vitamin E and anti-inflammatory properties, are also relevant compounds for the nutritional quality of quinoa. Currently, information on the genetic diversity of these compounds in quinoa germplasm is limited.
