I run it through a strainer with running water, what falls out, I don't want. Then, I cook it just like rice. One part Quiona, two parts H20. I wait until the water is boiling, dump in the Quiona and get it back up to a boil, then I reduce the heat half way and fluff/stir with a fork until all of the water is absorbed. This is also a great way to use up any extra veggies you have in fridge, just dice them up and toss them into that water as the water is reducing. It really is that simple. Piece of advice. I buy from the bulk bins too. Put your quiona into the freezer for over night, since it is a grain, it may attract mill worms (sorry it's just part of life) frezzer will kill off any potential for that happening. Enjoy!!!
Oh, if you suffer from migraines, this is a must for your diet....it's better than fever few.
