Bulk Tip: Quinoa
Quinoa is a grain that comes from the Andes Mountains of South America. It was one of the three staple foods, along with corn and potatoes, of the Inca civilization.
Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain; and it’s a complete protein, unlike other grains. with an essential amino acid balance close to the ideal. Quinoa is versatile, and very easy to cook. It only takes 15 minutes to cook quinoa, vs. 55 minutes for brown rice. Oryana carries white quinoa, as well as black, red, and tricolor quinoa. They all have the same nutritional value.
Basic recipe for making quinoa:
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Place quinoa, water, and salt in a 1-½ quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated. Makes 3 cups. Use it as you would rice, as a side dish or in pilafs.
