biotechpete   10 #2 Posted February 1, 2017 I cook it with barley to make a porridge. Served with fruit and 0% fat greek yoghurt, it's a great start to a training day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bob Arctor   11 #4 Posted February 2, 2017 Did you wash it first? You are meant to put it in a bowl of water and rub it together, then pour the water off and repeat until the water is fairly clear. This gets rid of the outer "coating" which doesn't taste very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

squeakette   10 #8 Posted March 12, 2017 Iceland do a quinoa and bean mix and it's pretty good. £1.49 a bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
CleanHouse   10 #9 Posted April 20, 2017 Quinoa is really nice and the trick to it is what you do with it. I chop veg very small and make a oil type dressing and toss it all together. Very yummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
AmberLeaf   10 #10 Posted November 15, 2017 I'm still not tempted to try it again. Maybe next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

daducky88 Â Â 10 #12 Posted February 7, 2018 Prefer the red quinoa, it has a nutty taste to it. Â On a different nutty subject, i mixed black, camargue, briwn and white rice and use this as my rice stock. It has a v distinctive flavour. Yet having ploughed through its blinking nuttyness for maybe a 8 months now, i'm sick to death of it. It doesnt quite act as a fragrant foil to thai curry for example, whereas basmati does. So nuts schmutz, as i imagine they in new york. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
