I have to admit--I tried the quinoa that is whiteish and was not a fan. It just didn't have as much flavor. BUT I don't remember it being bitter...hmm.. You can try cooking it down in vegetable broth instead of water, that might reduce some of the bitterness, or you can also try cooking it longer. It should be soft when you bite it but have kind of a "pop" when you bite each of the little pieces. Not necessarily a crunch, but a pop...anyone else have ideas? So interesting!

Quinoa. Everyone loves it, but the couple times I tried to cook it, it came out bitter. And I did wash it. What's the trick? I want to use it, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Is there some that is sold already washed? Help! Okay. Quinoa. Everyone loves it, but the couple times I tried to cook it, it came out bitter. And I did wash it. What’s the trick?
