Red quinoa has a richer flavor, a slightly chewier and heartier texture, and a somewhat nuttier taste compared with white quinoa. It is often the preferred quinoa for cold salads, as it retains its shape better during cooking. 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 18 to 23 minutes, or until all the water has been 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 salad or as a side dish with your meal.
