How To Cook :

Rinse the quinoa well to remove its natural saponin coating which can make it taste bitter or soapy.
Drain the excess water and transfer it to a cooking pot.
Add double the quantity of water or broth along with a pinch of salt to the pan.
Bring to a boil, cover the pan, and then allow it to simmer for 15 minutes on medium-low heat.
When the water is absorbed and the grain is fluffy and translucent, you’re done!
