Quinoa being a seed, not a grain, begins to sprout very fast & its easy! Buy in BULK rinse & soak for a short time at room temp (longer in fridge) drain & rinse again. It will have begun the process of sprouting aka growing in a few hours! It is quick, easy & even easier to digest as it is switching to a live food instead of a dried seed!! To save time & $$-do this process with a larger amount & dehydrate (below 120F) & store your for quick use with no need to rinse again! Makes a great sub for gluten sensitive folks too!

Tried quinoa for the first time two weeks ago because it was in all the healthy food videos id been watching lately and pasta was making me bloat, cooked it with a bit of salt… there was a weird bitter taste but not noticeable with the chilli dressing i put in my salad… it tasted nice, angels started singing in my head, I'd found the perfect replacement! Half way through my salad blooooat. I've tried the exact same salad without quinoa and i was fine. Im going to try it again but wash it properly, maybe it was the saponins.

That is probably why I never liked to eat Quinoa. Good to know.

Just looked at my quinoa package. No mention of it being prewashed. Yup, gotta wash that baby next time. Great tip!

i used to think that brown rice quinoa precooked in those microwavable prepackaged shelf stable bowls were the only tasty way to experience it becaues my diy attempts at a big batch came out so bad i tossed it immediately. The trick was rinsing the quinoa, buying dried par cooked brown rice and cooking them both in different pots and different times, and using broth instead of water. Now it tastes just like those ready to microwave bowls once combined.

My parents cultivate quinoa for a living and I always found weird the way people wash their quinoa, because we do it differently. We sell our quinoa ready for boiling, juice or any other purpose because it is prepared differently depending on what are you planning to do. I hope someday we could sell our quinoa in a supermarket or something.
