Quinoa

[Wrangler]

I have bought a packet of quinoa but it doesn't say how to prepare it! I presume you boil it like rice or pasta?

And then throw in bin ! Sorry to jump on thread and be flippant. ! I tried it and didn't like it altho I eat mostly wholefoods this is one I couldn't manage. Let us know how you get on with it.

You could have had the rest of my box, like naonmi I tried it and wasn't impressed at all!

Thanks everyone - having prepared it, I am now tending to side with Naomi as well but will persevere and see whether the salad I have knocked up with the quinoa improves with age when I eat it tonight on the late shift! Loads of chili dressing maybe!!!

It's ok, but like cous cous, bulgar wheat and similar, you definitely need to add some sort of flavour (or have it as the plain thing to accompany something else flavourful).

I think it's alright, quite like how it unfurls!

However, I love couscous completely different.

Well I ate it as a salad but have to say it didn't do much for me! Doubt the packet will get finished!

Good thinking Poodicat however I expected it to have a stronger flavour of its own.
