1982年中国农科院从美国引入一批籽粒苋良种,试种后引起了畜牧、食品行业的重视。1989年在北京召开了全国籽粒苋科研协作会和经验交流会,一致认为:籽粒苋可用作粮食、饲料、蔬菜,也是食品加工和生产天然色素的原料,还可观赏,是一种用途广泛、经济价值高的作物。 当前,种籽粒苋用作饲料最为简单有效,籽粒苋营养丰富:其籽粒含蛋白质18％左右,其中赖氨酸占80％上下,明显高于小麦、水稻;现蕾期干叶含蛋白质20.4％,赖氨酸0.79％,用籽粒苋作饲 In 1982, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences introduced a number of grain amaranth varieties from the United States. After the trial planting, it attracted the attention of livestock husbandry and food industries. In 1989, Beijing held a national scientific collaboration and exchange of experience in grain amaranth, agreed that: grain amaranth can be used as food, feed, vegetables, but also food processing and production of natural pigment raw materials, but also watch, is a widely used , Crops of high economic value. At present, the grain amaranth is the most simple and effective for feedstuff. The grain amaranth is nutritious: its grain contains about 18% of protein, of which lysine accounts for 80% of the total, which is obviously higher than that of wheat and rice; , 0.79% lysine, with grain amaranth for feeding
