How people cook with it

To prepare, combine one part quinoa with two parts liquid, such as water or broth, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures fluffy, separate grains. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker.
