Alter Eco Fair Trade Organic White Quinoa Directions

Using one cup of quinoa for two persons, toast the grain in a pan for five minutes before cooking to give it a delicious roasted flavor. To cook, use two parts liquid to one part quinoa. Combine the liquid and toasted quinoa in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the grains are translucent and the germ has spiraled out from each grain, about 15 minutes.

 

To preserve the flavor and freshness, keep your Alter Eco quinoa in a cool and dry environment, protected from direct sunlight.
