How do I cook BetterBody Foods tri-color quinoa so it turns out light and fluffy?

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove natural saponins, then combine a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water in a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low heat and simmer 15–20 minutes until the water is absorbed; let it steam covered for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.

• Rinse thoroughly to reduce bitterness and improve texture.
• Use 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water (or broth for extra flavor).
• Simmer 15–20 minutes, then rest 5 minutes off heat for fluffiness.
• Also compatible with rice cookers and Instant Pot settings for grains.

What recipes pair best with tri-color quinoa for balanced meals?

Quinoa’s mild, nutty profile works well across savory and sweet dishes. Use it as a base for grain bowls, a hearty salad ingredient, or a protein-boosting filler in stuffed peppers and baked casseroles.

• Grain bowls with roasted vegetables, greens, and vinaigrette.
• Salads mixed with herbs, citrus, avocado, and toasted seeds.
• Stirred into soups or stews for added texture and protein.
• Breakfast porridge with milk, fruit, and a touch of honey or maple.

How should I store BetterBody Foods quinoa to keep it fresh?
