How To Cook Quinoa – Finally! Eating Healthy Isn’t Complicated
It’s a power-food, but where to learn how to cook Quinoa? In my journey to learn the mysteries of Quinoa and all it’s cooking uses, I realized that cooking Quinoa is absolutely NOT difficult. If you can cook white rice (even the instant kind), you can certainly learn how to cook Quinoa. I was raised a junk food kid…. someone who grew up with fast food and french fries. But, as is common with many others, you start to have a few years under your belt, take a look around at a family and a life you love….and you realize – “It’s time to take care of myself”. Darn mortality! When I came across Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa), I was fascinated – what an amazing and complete food! Thing is, Quinoa is NOT new – the Incas were eating it over 6,000 years ago. I tend to be a picky eater at times (or maybe I’m just set in my junk food ways and resist all that is healthy…lol), so I was a bit nervous about eating Quinoa the first time. This stuff tastes great! It’s is filling without making you feel bloated and overly-full…and when I eat Quinoa for breakfast, I feel great and have a nice energy level that lasts for hours. If you’ve been thinking about trying Quinoa – don’t be intimidated. Below I have the simple step-by-step directions for cooking Quinoa. From there, the sky is the limit as Quinoa is highly versatile and can be used in many, many recipes.
