Black quinoa has a crunchier texture which will add more depth to your meals. This superfood, called the mother of all grains in quechua, is known for its nutritional richness and as a complete plant-based protein!
Cooking instructions: Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Cook 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes.
Do I need to rinse the quinoa? The quinoa possesses a natural protective coating, called the saponin, that has a bitter taste. We do our best to ensure that effective methods are used to prewash the quinoa. However, the level of this bitter taste differs from one harvest to the other, and so we highly recommend to always rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking it.
