He's promotion quinoa as a rice replacement. I approve of the sentiment that rice is shitty and quinoa (I love quinoa cus-cus) is better, but it has nothing to do at all with the article itself.
- fit2rule 11y agoThought process: "Hmm.. that sucks I like rice. I wonder what I can eat instead" .. check comments .. learn about Quinoa = relevant.
- nosuchthing 11y agoYes, just offering an alternative if anyone was interested in a replacement for rice. Quinoa cooks faster than rice, but it needs to be washed/rinsed thoroughly beforehand to remove the saponin soap like coating.
- vanderZwan 11y agoPlease give some context next time. BTW, with washing do you mean in a similar way to rinsing rice a few times?
- nosuchthing 11y agoRinse quinoa until there's no more foam/bubbles from the saponin. It's easiest with a very fine stainless steel sieve or strainer, like this: http://files.meilleurduchef.com/mdc/photo/product/mfr/fine-mesh-sieve-o-23-cm/fine-mesh-sieve-o-23-cm-1-640.jpg http://files.meilleurduchef.com/mdc/photo/product/mfr/fine-m... Alternatively, a large jar or bowl with enough headroom to fill with extra water that can be poured off and drained.
- eutectic 11y agoI don't know if it varies by location but any time I have bought quinoa in the UK it has come pre-rinsed.
- rlonstein 11y agoHere in the States read the label. Some varieties are pre-rinsed others are not. Don't mix it up. DAMHIKIJK.
- orange_county 11y agoAnd quinoa ain't so cheap in comparison to rice.
