Quinoa Cooking Tip

Now that you're in the quinoa club, don't forget this important step before you start cooking: Give this healthy grain a good rinse. While it's still on the plant, quinoa has a bitter-tasting resin called saponin on its surface. Most of this is washed away before quinoa ever makes it into stores, but some of the residue can be left behind. Use a fine strainer and cold water and wash away!
