Do You Need To Rinse Or Wash The Quinoa Before Cooking?
Nature’s Earthly Choice Quinoa comes pre-washed. This removes the bitter coating that naturally covers the quinoa seed. However, because quinoa is an agricultural product it is not always possible to remove all foreign material, even with the use of modern cleaning equipment and procedures. Therefore we suggest that you rinse and sort your quinoa before cooking.
