Hey Rosie!

Well... you beat me to it. I went online to do an image search for you to see where I could refer you.

So what did you think? smile

When you put it together right... it's awesome!

I usually find it in the "health foods" section.

And if you have a farmer's market, it is usually sold in the whole grains, where you can buy it by the amount you need (instead of prepackaged).

I have a recipe somewhere on here for a toasted quinoa salad that was in a magazine. That's what first made me try it.

Aha! I found where I posted that recipe - I'll copy it over here:

This came from Good Housekeeping:
Warm Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds

Quinoa is often called a supergrain. Because it contains all 8 essential amino acids, it is considered a complete protein. It has a delicate flavor, but some people don�t care for it because they find it has a bitter aftertaste. Toasting quinoa helps reduce the bitterness and bring out its tasty nutty flavor. Look for it in health food stores and some supermarkets.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup(s) quinoa
2 1/2 cup(s) (plus 1 tablespoon) water
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon(s) rice vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon(s) grated peeled fresh ginger
2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
1/4 cup(s) sliced natural almonds, toasted

DIRECTIONS
1.In 12-inch skillet, toast quinoa on medium 5 minutes or until fragrant and golden, stirring frequently.

2. Stir 2 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt into toasted quinoa; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 17 minutes or until all water is absorbed.

3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil, ginger, green onions, and remaining 1 tablespoon water.

4. Transfer quinoa to large serving bowl. Stir in soy sauce mixture until quinoa is evenly coated. Sprinkle with toasted almonds to serve.


I served this with shelled edamame (soybeans) sauteed with baby bella mushrooms and chopped garlic in 1 Tbsp salted butter.

Rosie, I cook quinoa just like rice, and use it pretty much the same ways.

It's so good and versatile you can add sweetener and a little butter or margarine and eat it like a hot breakfast cereal, or cook it in some broth or tomato sauce instead of water, or add just whatever spices you like to match almost any main dish. Add black beans, tomatoes, onion and taco seasoning for a Mexican flair. Tomatoes, basil, oregano & Parmesan cheese for Italian. You can also leave it plain with just salt & pepper.

My regular grocery stores don't have it, I have to go to Whole Foods to get it. They sell it in bulk and in pre-packaged boxes. I have only used the bulk kind.
