How people cook with it

To prepare, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any saponins, which can impart a bitter taste. Combine one part quinoa with two parts liquid, such as water or broth, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the germ ring has separated from the seed. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. It can be served hot or cold.
How it differs from similar foods
White quinoa is the most common type and cooks up lighter and fluffier than red or black quinoa, which tend to have a firmer texture and a more pronounced earthy flavor. Its mild taste makes it a more neutral base for a wider range of flavors.
