used as a food by Andean people since ancient times, especially in [[soup]]s, [[stew]]s, [[salad]]s and by itself mixed with fried [[maize]].  Like other legumes, its protein is rich in the [[essential amino acid]] [[lysine]].  It has a soft [[seed coat]] that makes for easy cooking.

Average protein content is 46% (varying between 41 and 51%) and average fat content is 20% (varying between 14 and 24%)  The protein digestibility and nutritional value are reportedly similar to those in [[soybean]]s.
