Comments on: Quinoa — Eating More Whole Grains http://www.choosingvoluntarysimplicity.com/quinoa-eating-more-whole-grains/ About finding balance in your life, connecting with who you are, and creating a lifestyle where you wake up each morning eagerly anticipating the day ahead.

The first time I tried quinoa it was bitter, so I am happy to know the method. Millet is a grain that cooks in a similar way, and is also complete in the amino acids. It's a little bland by itself, but I have fixed it by adding it to some chopped veggies sauteed in a little olive oil, and found it very tasy! After stirring in the millet, I just add water and cover. Cooks in about the same time - 20-25 minutes. Nice not to have to round out the meal with an extra source of protein. And so nice to find this web site! (found it thru Goodsearch) Thank you for your article. The first time I tried quinoa it was bitter, so I am happy to know the method.

Haven't cooked it yet (because I was also curious about Israeli couscous, and which was a great hit with the kids!). I have used white quinoa from time to time and since the rest of my family isn't wild about it, I would say my biggest success has been in mixing it into their tuna mayo sandwiches, where the flavour is very well disguised. Actually, when I do tuna & mayo sandwiches, I replace a lot of the mayo with homemade yoghurt, which is much healthier.
