Quinoa - I Hate Quinoa
Okay, so remember when George W. Bush was president? Remember he proclaimed his hatred for broccoli? Broccoli Growers of the US (or some group) sent him a truckload of broccoli.
I'm officially proclaiming my hatred for quinoa (pronounced keen-wah). You know that seed that is referred to as a grain because it has the properties of a grain, and goes for $6.99 per pound at the health-food store/supermarket? It contains all the essential amino acids which makes it a complete protein. Yeah - that seed. Well really, I only hate the taste if it is not prepared properly. If it is not rinsed before it is cooked, it tastes bitter. It gets even better if it's soaked overnight before it is cooked.
It's a good idea to rinse and soak overnight to remove phytic acid. Phytic acid is an anti-nutrient that seeds, legumes, nuts and grains contain; soaking removes it. Remember mom used to soak the beans overnight on Friday night for the Saturday night, baked-bean dinner? This must be why.
The other thing I hate about quinoa is the price. $6.99 per pound is a little pricey. But honestly, I'm only hoping that proclaiming my hatred for quinoa will result in a truckload of quinoa backed up to my house. But until that truck shows up, I think I'll just order it from Amazon (affiliate link below) for a much better price!
