Kaniwa
	Annual/semi-perennial herb pseudocereal
		Humid to semi-arid mountains. Has not been widely tried in other places (geographically isolated from the temperate climes where it would do best), but has been successfully grown in England & Finland. Salt-tolerant, quite cold-tolerant. Probably OK in wetlands, because native to local elevation minimum. Probably requires full sun, because it grows above the tree line.
			Stalk	None	Year-round	Green	N/A
			Leaves	Edible raw or cooked	Year-round; refresh 2-3/year	Green when young, then yellow, pink, orange, or purple when mature.	N/A
			Flowers	None		Inconspicuous, no petals, do not actually open - near 100% self-polinating - can probably leave this growth out
			Seedhead	Contains seeds	100 days after sowing, and up to 3x/year. In the wild, effectively year-round I guess?	Burgundy; falls off in cloud	80 days later

			Flowers	None	Early/mid-winter, every ~5 years	White or pink. Closed during the day, open at night	2-3 weeks after first bloom
			Seed pods	Contains seeds; contains fiber. Kapok fiber is difficult to spin due to its short, smooth, brittle fibers. May not want to make it an option. May add a very short-lived growth just for the fluff, to let it fall in a cloud.	Late dry season (mid-late spring)	Green when green, brown when ripe, then split to show fluff.	Fluff to the winds after a week or two, before the leaves come back (late spring)
			Seeds	Edible cooked, pressed for oil.	N/A	Black	N/A
Kenaf

			Leaves	Edible cooked	Year-round	Green	N/A
