Organic Quinoa 200 g, ZoyaShop ®, 200 g

Quinoa is known as the queen of grains and is popular for its high protein balance and rich content of essential amino acids. It is also gluten free which makes it perfect for the allergic ones.

Directions:

Before cooking make sure to rinse the Quinoa grains to remove the saponins traces. Quinoa in its natural state has a coating of saponins though most quinoa sold commercially has been processed to remove this coating.
Quinoa is cooked like rice – it can be boiled in water (1 cup Quinoa with 2 cups of water) for 20 minutes. When cooked, quinoa increases its volume 4 times and the little seeds become transparent in the center with little circle around it. In recipes quinoa may be excellent alternative to rice, couscous, groats.
