Recently we purchased Trader Joe's organic Quinoa.It is Simple to cook, like rice.
Cooked quinoa looks a bit like couscous, but is more
substantial and slightly crunchy.The quinoa harvest starts in late March.
Quinoa is very easy to cook. It’s important to rinse the seeds well, because they are naturally coated with a bitter substance that protects them against birds and other predators. Most packaged quinoa has already been cleaned, but it doesn’t hurt to soak and rinse it just in case.
I made pulao with Quinoa. You can also try ..Here is the recipe Quinoa pulao
