Not all seeds are good candidates for broadcast seeding. Often, only smaller seeds will sprout and continue to grow successfully when planted by way of broadcasting.

Quinoa seeds. Chenopodium quinoa is a dicotyledonous annual plant, usually about 1–2 m (3–7 ft) high. It has broad, generally powdery, hairy, lobed leaves, normally arranged alternately. The woody central stem is branched or unbranched depending on the variety and may be green, red or purple.

Many different types of vessels can be used as a sprouting vessel.

The seeds are very small, about a millimeter in length, and a thousand grains weigh approximately 0.3 g (0.011 oz). [10] They can have a color from a white to a deep reddish brown. [7] Teff is similar to millet and quinoa in cooking, but the seed is much smaller and cooks faster, thus using less fuel. [11]
