Cooking quinoa is super easy — and once you know the basics, it turns out fluffy every time! 🌾✨ Here's how:

🍚 Basic Quinoa Cooking Method:

1. Rinse it first:

   • Put the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for 30 seconds. This removes the natural coating (saponin) that can taste bitter.

2. Use the right water ratio:

   • 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water (or broth for more flavor).

3. Boil and simmer:

   • Bring the water and quinoa to a boil.

   • Once it boils, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

4. Let it rest:

   • After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

5. Fluff and serve:

   • Fluff with a fork and it’s ready to go!
