Quinoa White (500g)

How to cook your Quinoa

• Add 1 cup well-rinsed quinoa to 2-3 cups water (start with 2 and add more if it is too dry – grains are different with each harvested crop – so you just have to adjust the water as you go.)
• Bring to the boil with the lid on, then turn down to the lowest temperature keeping the lid on. NEVER stir quinoa as it will turn into porridge.
• Quinoa usually cooks within 15-20 minutes. Keep the lid on until you need to serve.
• You can add sweet or savoury ingredients to quinoa, just like rice and millet, or serve as a salad.
