  I had it in tabouli. It was ok but not worth the hype.

    In tabbouleh? No no no.

    That’s like having bbq sauce on a meat pie. 😂

        Be wary of the ones going for bbq sauce. Can’t be trusted.

  I love it, especially citrusy types. It will get your guts going.

    Like chemical warfare?

      Riiiiicccchhhhh in fibre, protein and other useful nutrients. Kinda tasteless by itself, but OK mixed into other things. Absorbs quite a lot of water so good for putting in stews that are too liquidy - same as cous cous. Agree that it does a good fill up and flush out of digestive system. Please note, raw seeds need to be rinsed well to remove bitter taste (saponins) before cooking unless packet says ready to cook on the label.

      No, just active. It’s a very mild laxative.

  Kinda like couscous

    Bang. I cous cous all the time so that’s good to hear.

  It’s ok. I’ve cooked it a few times but not enthused enough to use it regularly. The little tails that curl out when it cooks are interesting, a nice look for salads. It appears in a lot of ‘health’ recipes because it’s got more protein than rice. I usually prefer rice, cous cous or mashed potato if I’m looking for a side to soak up a sauce.

    I’m hoping to up my protein cos I’m getting to the age that every little bit helps.

  It’s like a nutty couscous. Try this recipe

  I’m not a huge fan of quinoa, but when prepped correctly is quite nice.

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Easy. Doable. Thanks.

  Rarely we buy quinoa, but we use it instead of rice sometimes. Usually paired with a curry or stir fry, but partner sometimes decides to make a Franken-meal and just throw stuff together; quinoa is good for adding texture to those meals, along with roasted sesame seeds.

    Ooooo. This is good. Thanks.
