QUINOA 101: The Types of Quinoa & How to Use Them

[@learntocrochet1]

I'm jealous of folks who don't taste the slightly bitter, soapy taste! Quinoa has saponins that cause that taste. I rinse the quinoa in a bowl, stirring it around for a couple of minutes, transfer it to a strainer, rinse and drain. Then I toast the quinoa in the pot I will cook it in till all the water is gone and I start to hear it pop. Takes about 8-10 minutes. Then I add the water - warm for quinoa as opposed to other grains and cook. Most reference say a standard 2 parts water to one part grain, but that makes it turn out mushy for me. So I do 1 1/2 parts water to 1 part grain. The extra time is worth it - to me, others may not need or want any of this fuss.

Add some garlic powder to it

I soak and rinse it. Then I cook it with 1 tsp ground cardamom. It masks that odd taste for me but is not overwhelming ly tasting of cardamom.

I'm a vegetarian living in Cambodia where everyone eats meat , so Quinoa is mostly what i eat everyday. I first fell in love with Quinoa working at Hippocrates Health Institute, Palm Beach Florida in 1992. What you didn't mention is The Quinoa I get here is called Quinoa blond, with a Blondish color.

I loved your video! I've been eating the traditional quinoa for about forty years now. Your video was fantastic! Thank you for sharing all the different types of quinoa! ! You have inspired me to try a few more!

Hello, how come you discovered Quinia such a long time ago? Greets!

[@sammysorad]

This video was such a great help! The first time I had quinoa, it was tricolor quinoa. I thought the texture was weird from how much of a bite it had to it, and I’ve been cautious of trying quinoa ever since then. Definitely gonna be making some white quinoa and trying it out later again. Thanks!

[@originaltommy]

I'm addicted to quinoa! I might as well change my name to Joaquinoa Phoenix! lol

I was gifted a large bag of quinoa recently and I had no idea what to do with it as I have never used it before. Well I am researching so thank you for the information. Quinoa seems like a gr8 option for people with diabetic concerns, if I understand the nutritive value and benefits correctly.

[@crankiemanx8423]

Thank you ,such a great informative vid.ive recently started eating millet grain,mostly as a porridge,it is similar to quinoa with a nice nutty flavour but not as bitter as quinoa.ive seen a recipe I want to try where it uses quinoa in place of couscous.i also purchase a gluten free bread made from millet & it is so close in taste & texture to a regular wholemeal bread.i would like to know more about the different types of millet & their nutritional value & would really be interested if you could do a vid on millet.

Thank you for the information. I’ve changed my diet by eliminating all bread, pastas, sugar….basically all proceeded foods and I’m eating more quinoa because it’s more of a healthier carb and I don’t want a complete keto diet…a low carb healthy diet.

[@trashcatlinol]

I have a mortar and pestle and will have to do some experimenting! I could make quinoa meal from cracked quinoa! I did the same with rice and a grinder for kiddo since rice cereal was expensive. He didn't care for it as much as congee made the same way(I really don't get him sometimes...) But I liked it well enough i made it like chocolate malt o' meal for me and hubby since that's his favorite dish. It's a little too much effort and noise for me to grind rice right now, but I think I can hack it by getting a bow of instant and using the mortar and pestle. If not, the slightly larger grains might be a nice texture difference! Kiddo' s old enough for the chocolate version now, so it'll be an enjoyable learning experience for him! I had a failed popped quinoa experiment (the white in my trio bag was hulled! Fiends! ) but the resulting mess is still tasty, and i'm considering buying the colored variety specifically for popping. If you have few options available in your area, it's something to keep in mind. I'm now curious about a a flour mill for home use... I would love to be able to make my own rice flour and am curious about quinoa flour now! I'm not gluten free, but have a desire to learn about alternative flours, as I know many who are. I have never seen quinoa flour in store , even as their selection is getting a little better. Being able to make my own as I need it would be a great convenience!

[@catherineblair550]

omg subscribed. As vegan quinoa is important but still a bit confused about it. I never heard of quinoa flour. I have been avoiding white quinoa and buying red and black online thinking it was better because it was more expensive. I was thinking black had more antioxidants. And it might. But I think I'd enjoy white a lot more, as the red and black are just sitting there unused.
