First of all quinoa (pronounced \"keen-wa\") is an alkalizing grain.
It is hardy and contains the highest amount if protein of any grain.
It cooks quickly and makes a delicious, crunchy dish. It is high in calcium, phosphorus, iron, B vitamins, and vitamin E and has an ideal balance of amino acids.
Wash quinoa thoroughly to remove the saponin, the rust-colored coating that protects this seed against insects, birds, and the sun.
While cooking, the germ on the outside of the grain unfolds like a partial spiral giving the finished cooked product a lovely appearance.
