Product Details

Quinoa is not really a cereal at all, but it is an edible seed from chenopodium, a grain like crop which has these nutritious seeds. Quinoa can be used as the carb part of any meal using it where you would use rice, pasta, potatoes or couscous. Quinoa is often referred to as nutritious because it is rich in amino acids and of course quinoa is so simple to prepare and tastes so fluffy and creamy with a slightly crunchy texture. You'll just have to try it to know what I mean.

Serving Suggestion

Use as a side dish, in salads, to make veg croquettes and for stuffing vegetables etc.

Cooking Instructions

Rinse and strain. Place in a pan of water, bring to the boil , add salt if you need it, although you find it tastes great without, and simmer for 10-15 mins.Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5-6 minutes. When cooked the grain releases its white germ.

Ingredients

Just organic quinoa grain and nothing else.

This 1kg pack of quinoa is excellent value for money.
I serve this as a substitute for rice or couscous. It has a nuttier flavour that you have to get used to but it's very good!
I also use it as a substitute for bulgur wheat in tabbouleh.

Quinoa - Fri 27th Apr 2012
I'm new to using quinoa myself at home but have found it easy to use, ridiculously versatile and very filling - a little goes a long way. It can take the place of any grain/rice food in any meal. I love brown rice and couscous but find myself using this instead now! That it's whole-grain is just a plus.

I cook Quinoa as I would rice: 1 part quinoa to 2 parts liquid (I like to use homemade veggie stock; water is great but adds no flavuor), I bring to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes at a reduced heat. As for rinsing, I learned to rinse the quinoa in a mesh strainer until the water no longer foams on the top of the grains. Hope this helps!
