Quinoa 300g ~ 3 bags

Manufacturer: CGS General Distribution Brand: Nuestra Salud

Quinoa was such an important staple to the ancient Incas, they referred to it as "the mother grain". Today, it remains an important staple in Latin American cuisine as it contains more protein than most other grains. Its delicious flavor makes it a great alternative to rice or couscous as a side dish. Quinoa easily cooks to a light fluffy texture with a hint of nutty crunch. A truly versatile grain, quinoa can be used in soups, salads, breads, desserts or as a breakfast cereal. Suggested Use: Always rinse and drain quinoa thoroughly in cold water before cooking. For additional flavor, substitute chicken broth or vegetable stock for the water. For variety, diced vegetables can be added in the beginning with the water for a quick and easy pilaf. Stovetop: Place 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all water is absorbed (10-15 minutes). When done, the grain appears soft and translucent, and the germ ring will be visible along the outside edge of the grain. Rice Cooker: Simply treat quinoa like rice. Add two parts water to one part quinoa, stir, cover and cook. Microwave: Add two parts water to one part quinoa in a microwave safe bowl. Cover and heat on high for 4 minutes, then remove from heat and stir. Heat again for an additional 2 minutes. Stir and let stand for 1 minute before eating.

Quinoa (Keen-wah) (Chenopodium Quinoa) was a widely used grain by the Incas, and has been grown in the Andes for centuries. The Quechua name for Quinoa translates as "The Mother Grain" or "Super Grain".

All have recently become popular in the U.S., this blend of Red and Black has a slightly nuttier flavor than the white, remains a little crunchy when cooked, and can be substitute for any grain as a side dish and makes excellent base for a salad, tabouli or hot cereal. Basic Preparation: Rinse well to remove any saponins (a soapy/bitter, resin like coating that naturally occurs on quinoa).Bring 2 cups water or stock to a boil. Add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. The grain will pop and the outside germ will separate into a curly tail. One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
