I want to make quinoa
for some reason I have in my head that it's tricky to make
has anyone made it?
it's supposed to be an amazingly nutritious food...

any thoughts, suggestions, much appreciated

thanks

It's super easy, as simple as making rice. Just use a rice maker if you have one

Also, quinoa can taste bitter if not washed. It is so small that an extra fine strainer helps.

Quinoa is such a great tasting grain too

I put it in boiling water, washed of course, for 15-20mins
This is the time I cook it for so it comes out a little crunchy
and fluffy
