Preparation Tips
To cook quinoa, use a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa. Rinse the seeds thoroughly under cold water to remove the natural saponin coating, which can have a bitter taste. Bring the water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the seeds are tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Quinoa seeds are a nutritious, versatile, and sustainable food option. Their high protein content, essential nutrients, and adaptability in recipes make them an excellent choice for a healthy diet. As global interest in quinoa continues to grow, it remains an important crop both nutritionally and economically, particularly in its native regions.
