How to enjoy

Red quinoa can be enjoyed hot or cold. It holds its shape well during cooking, and is a great addition to hot or cold salads and wraps. It works well as a substitute for rice in many dishes. You could prepare a large amount and keep it in the fridge for quick use. To prepare, rinse the quinoa and place in a pot with 2 parts water. Bring to the boil over medium heat, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the quinoa steam for 5 minutes so it turns out nice and fluffy.
