Here is exactly how to cook quinoa – it’s so simple, there is little work involved!
I’m a huge fan of cooked quinoa. I love throwing it into a big pot of chili, adding it to soups, or enjoying it with our Chinese take-out instead of white rice. Quinoa is a great gluten-free source of protein, iron, and fiber. It’s also a quick way to get in a serving of whole grains. I also love to make granola or crispy veggie/cheese patties with it. Simply put, quinoa is so nutritious and even more versatile!

Ingredients

- Cooked quinoa stays fresh for up to 6-7 days in the refrigerator or 8 months in the freezer.
