I just got a rice steamer and will give it a try soon, but this is the method I've used for months.

The price is a little better there. I have also purchased it at both House of Health locations here in Shawnee. Thanks, HENS Mom for your suggestions. I have seen it at Walmart but never purchased it there. I didn't know if it was partially precooked or processed in any way. Also, I have read that if you purchase quinoa that says it is pre-rinsed, you should go ahead and rinse it anyway. Hope this helps. After you try it, let me know what you think of it.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645436282649157852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834944395695960296.post-64126499040544136642011-07-02T14:13:44.988-07:002011-07-02T14:13:44.988-07:00Made it by your recipe today and it turned out PER...Made it by your recipe today and it turned out PERFECT!! I didn't have any broth out of the freezer so I just cooked in water with 1/2 tsp of salt (I only cooked 1 cup of quinoa). It is delicious and perfect texture!! I love cooking at low-altitude! lolHolly=) Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049538136601045159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834944395695960296.post-12853833160047316092011-07-02T06:08:27.143-07:002011-07-02T06:08:27.143-07:00You can actually purchase Quinoa at Walmart by the...You can actually purchase Quinoa at Walmart by the dry beans and rice!

I am very excited to try your method and see how it does! I also usually make it 'plain' and keep it in the fridge for adding/working up into meals. I'll definitely bring the recipe too! Or maybe just email it to you since I've got it on the computer. =) I'm interested to know where to find in here in OK too as I've only bought it at Whole Foods in CO. Which reminds me, did WF open up while I was gone????Holly=) Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049538136601045159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834944395695960296.post-40833377969811085182011-07-01T11:35:46.245-07:002011-07-01T11:35:46.245-07:00Which health food store do you go to for your Quin...Which health food store do you go to for your Quinoa?

We have a fantastic 'bean salsa' recipe that has corn in it and this year I decided to cut the carbs and up the fiber/nutrient value by replacing it with cooked quinoa or millet. I'm making it this weekend for Clare's birthday, so I'll bring a sample portion to you Sunday morning so you can try it!Holly=) Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049538136601045159noreply@blogger.com
