Quinoa (spreek uit als kienwah).. Wat is dat eigenlijk en hoe maak je het het beste klaar?

Op het eerste gezicht ziet quinoa er net uit als couscous (griesmeel) maar dat is maar schijn. Couscous wordt namelijk gemaakt van tarwe wat een soort graan is en dus ook gluten bevat. Quinoa daarentegen is geen graan en wordt er ook niet van gemaakt, het zijn de zaden van de quinoaplant, een plant uit de amarantenfamilie (spinazie behoort ook tot deze familie).

Eigenlijk is het best eenvoudig om quinoa te bereiden als je eenmaal weet hoe je deze korreltjes moet behandelen.

Spoelen, spoelen, spoelen is heel belangrijk om de bittere smaak van de zaadjes weg te krijgen. Je kan beter teveel spoelen dan te weinig.

Very nice blog, but I'm skipping this recipe to try it out someday. Does not appeal to me.
Never knew you had to rinse quinoa. I'm sure to remember that. . Thanks!
@Eimhier The seeds have a kind of protective layer (saponins) around them so that they would not be eaten so quickly by birds or other animals. That layer tastes bitter but can therefore be washed off.
Salmon how delicious I usually eat it only in sushi because in my country salmon is very expensive so I can't
I can't eat salmon pitifully but how tasty those pictures look you have whet my appetite hehe thanks for the blog
