How to Cook Quinoa Perfectly for Meals

Rinse the quinoa before cooking.

Add it to boiling water using a ratio of 1 cup quinoa to 1.5 cups water.

Cover and cook for 15 minutes without removing the lid.

Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and enjoy, noting that a 1:2 ratio should be avoided to prevent mushy texture.

Quinoa is a complete protein and can be added to salads or other dishes.
