    It's a seed not a grain, so it's great for gluten free diets.

    I replace cous cous and rice and pasta with quinoa all the time, so I serve it with morrocan tagines and casseroles. I also have it in salad.

    To cook it, you put one cup in a saucepan to two cups water and bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for ten minutes. It should look like a little letter e when cooked.

    If you buy white quinoa, it's pretty fine to eat straight, but other colours I would wash VERY thoroughly, because the coating on quinoa is very bitter. If you cook it and it's bitter, next time wash it more because it should be very tasty!

    It's very good for you and your digestive health.
