900g Water

350g Quinoa

Add Water to TM bowl, place quinoa in rice basket.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared quinoa an almost complete protein, as it contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s also chock full of other vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, folate and iron, is high in fibre, gluten-free and low GI.

Quinoa is definitely one of my favorite things to cook as it is so versatile, you can use it instead of rice and serve with curry's or stews, it can be served as a breakfast dish or lunch time with salad's.
