Of all the quinoa colors, white quinoa has the most delicate flavor and lightest texture, and it cooks slightly fluffier than other types of quinoa. Recommended use: Place 2 cups of water in a wide-bottomed pan and bring to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of quinoa, cover, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. When the quinoa is properly cooked, you can see small curled “tails” emerging from the seeds. You can then use the quinoa as the base of a breakfast bowl, salad, or side dish with your meal.
