How to make Quinoa

Quinoa (pronouced, “keen-wah”) is very yummy and very healthy.  It is super high in protein (the highest content of any grain) and high in fiber.  If you’re interested, read more about the health benefits of quinoa here.

I really love it.  You can find it in any grocery store, usually in the health food section.  I buy mine at Costco (of course.)

Quinoa!

Here’s how you cook it…

Measure out how much quinoa you want and rinse it very well.

If you don’t rinse it well, it will have a bitter taste.

Combine the quinoa and water.

It cooks pretty much just like rice…one part quinoa to two parts water.

I added a boullion cube for flavor (I know, I know….very salty and MSG ridden, but yummy!)
Bring to a boil…
Boil 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed

Remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes

Fluff with fork and…

Enjoy!
