Either Amaranthus mantegazzianus ,eaten for its grain(popped) ,cultivated in
Argentina but becoming rare..
Or perhaps the more american term for Chenopodium quinoa most likely the one
called 'Rainbow'..My seed sources are now dated so best to do a web search
....These were staples in S.America and very nutritious high in protein seed.
