Quinoa is my new favorite grain! I steam veggies over the pot I let it boil in and then eat it all together with olive oil and vinegar! MMmmmmmmmmm! dinner!

How about a little restraint... 1 person = 1 serving Umm, that was just the point. 1 serving = 1 cup in some places and 1/4 cup in others. The point was to make the serving sizes equal to make a FAIR comparison. I'm not say quinoa/rice is better but if we are to compare by volume then the least that can be done is to make an equal comparison. In part this is also why I posted my sources. The other reason whas the additional nutritional information the site gave for quinoa and rice.

AH okay that makes sense now that it was explained a bit more. I didn't take into account that the ccolorie count was for uncooked quinoa. Whew- I feel better now. Back to eating quinoa, huzzah!

4x170 = 680 True, but 1 cup of Brown Rice, Long Grain, RAW is 685 calories and 1 cup of Brown Rice, Long Grain, COOKED is only 216. So if the calories given is for uncooked quinoa then the cooked quinoa calorie count may also be much lower. http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/20035.html (quinoa) http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/20036.html (Brown rice, long grain, raw) http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/20037.html (Brown rice, long grain, cooked)

The 636 calories per cup is misleading.... I think that is for 1 cup uncooked because I just looked at a box in my cupboard and it says a serving is 1/4 cup dry / uncooked is 170 calories...

I do this as well. When I make soup I always have leftovers so I add some quinoa, sometimes millet, whatever I have on hand and yummm! I love quinoa as a base for a taboule rather than "couscous" or "semolina", I usually add cranberries, pine nuts, lemon, mint etc, don't forget the mint!!! S.

not sure about that one. i've read posts in another forum where people soak 'em overnight (more thatn 4-6 hours) and they didn't sprout. Theory is they "drowned" 'em. Given this, and their very short germination time (less than 24 hours) i don't think presoaked is really an option.

Cold quinoa salad! Cold quinoa (leftovers, perchance?) + finely chopped red bell pepper and red onion and cilantro. Add a sploosh of olive oil and mix it all up. Devour. For a super duper protein blast, add drained black beans to this as well. Yum.

I love quinoa! It's so simple and easy and so delicious. You can eat it so many ways too. I eat it for breakfast all the time -- sometimes with soy sauce, sometimes with yogurt and cinnamon. It's quick to prepare from scratch but I often make a batch ahead of time and then nuke up a cup in the morning. I'd love to hear how other people serve their quinoa.

Wow, I'd never thought of sprouting it! I believe that quinoa is considered the most nutritious grain of all. And, yes, it is a good source of protein. For those who don't have the sense to stop eating white rice *looks away, feels giulty* you can mix quinoa in with your rice and cook them together. Very tasty! And, hey, this IS a tribe for lazy people, right? Why wait 40 minutes for brown rice to cook when white rice cooks in about 15?!

i think so. it's a more compete protein, and it's done cooking in about 15 minutes... it's also super quick and easy to sprout - boosts the nutrient and amino acid profile many fold.
