Heard a lot about QUINOA but secretly have no idea what it is or how to even make it?! CORECAMPER.COM breaks it down: Quin-what? Pronounced “keen-wah"--is a protein-packed seed that can be traced back to ancient Peru. Packed with protein, quinoa contains every amino acid, and is particularly rich in lysine, which promotes healthy tissue growth throughout the body. Quinoa is also a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin E, potassium, and fiber. Here is how you cook it: 1. Soak 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups water for 5-10 minutes (to dissolve any remaining bitter coating) 2. Drain and rinse. 3. Pour into a pot and add 1.5 cups of water and a half teaspoon of salt. 4. Boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid. 5. Simmer for 15 minutes. 6. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. 7. Fluff with a fork and serve.
