Quinoa in your diet
Quinoa’s subtle nutty flavor pairs well with many dishes. You can eat it instead of couscous, rice, or bulgur. You can also use quinoa to make a vegetable salad or a morning porridge. You can bake it, make chocolate cream, or bake cookies with it. Before cooking, rinse the grains under water to remove the bitter saponins.
