Good Wednesday Morning!! :) Some Very Important Facts About Quinoa Seeds That You Need To Be Aware Of: First, Quinoa is one of the healthiest foods on the planet, it is one of the very few plant sources that is a Complete Protein (ALL Amino Acids), and I highly recommend incorporating it into your daily nutrition. However, there are some considerations when consuming raw Quinoa Seed: It cannot be consumed raw, out of the bag like other grains can. Raw Quinoa: Raw quinoa cannot be digested properly and its undigested starches are likely to cause you gastrointestinal discomfort. Moreover, raw quinoa is covered by a substance called saponin, a toxic soap-like substance that can bind with some of the minerals you eat, preventing them from being absorbed. Raw Quinoa can be consumed raw, and still get proper absorption if prepared properly. Raw Preparation and Cooking: Raw Quinoa can be consumed raw, and still get proper absorption if prepared properly. Quinoa can be consumed raw if rinsed and sprouted. Thoroughly rinse, then let soak in an equal amount of water for at least 8 hours. Cooking: If you prefer, Quinoa can be cooked with no nutritional loss. You must thoroughly rinse first, then Cook quinoa in two parts water, which means that for every cup of dry quinoa, you should use 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
