Sumario:Due to the possibility that quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) become an important crop for small farmers, it was proposed an assessment of the nutritional properties of native quinoa germplasm from Northwest Argentina (NWA) and a study to evaluate the effect of quinoa intake on growth, body composition and certain immunological parameters in an experimental model, differentiating the effect of quinoa, as protein source, from that provoked by the presence of saponins in raw seeds. The nutritional properties of native populations of quinoa showed a wide range of variation and were similar, as the protein quality, to those from other Latin American countries; this data could be included in food composition databases. The administration of diet based on quinoa with saponins affected diet intake and growth and provoked body composition changes of weanling rats. It was also observed an inflammatory response as interleukin 17 and goblets cells were increased in the intestinal villi. The administration of diet based on quinoa without saponins, as protein source, caused minor growth in animals, decreased body compartments and could cause decreased total IgA in biological fluids compared to those who received a casein diet.
