Quinoa Help

Ann Lytle · 02-15-2010, 06:15 AM

I purchased Quinoa last night, the bag says it's been rinsed, do I still need
to wash or soak it before cooking?...................Ann

No. Just use it as-is.

I always try to buy the prewashed ones too, Costco has it in 4 pound bags for $10 - organic. Great price for great stuff!

Thank you Charski, we don't have a Cosco, it cost me almost $12 for not quite 2#, shows you how badly I wanted to try it. If we like it I will get it from Netrition next time, I had just gotten a big order from them and can't do it again this soon..............Ann

OUCH! More than $6/pound?? Ugh!

Well I hope you like it, Ann - we surely enjoy it in all KINDS of ways!

I just cooked some and haven't decided what to do with yet Charski. I tasted it with a little butter and I like it, but so far haven't found it cheaper around here, so it may be my first and last bag................. Ann

If you want me to get you some at Costco and mail it to you - I will!

I found a place on the internet I can get it for a lot better price, but that was really sweet
of you to offer...............grin..............Ann
