Quinoa seeds are processed by washing or dry polishing to remove a substance that covers the seeds called saponin which has a bitter taste. To ensure all the saponin residue is removed, rinse quinoa thoroughly with cold water and drain well before cooking.

Basic Quinoa

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
  1. Place quinoa and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Makes 3 cups.

Cook's Note: Quinoa is done when the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
