Good to Know

• Rinsing before cooking matters; unrinsed quinoa can taste faintly bitter from its natural saponin coating.
• The grains are done when the little white germ ring separates from the seed.
• Cooked quinoa keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days, which makes batch cooking easy.

FAQs

Do I have to rinse it?

Yes, it is worth doing. A minute under running water removes the natural coating that can taste bitter.

How much water should I use?

Two parts water to one part quinoa gives a fluffy result. Use a little more if you prefer it softer.

Can it replace rice?

Yes. It works well under dal, curries and stir-fries, and has a firmer bite than rice.

What is the white ring around the cooked grains?

That is the germ separating as the quinoa cooks. It is the usual sign that the grains are ready.
