Northwest Fishing Reports

Pronounced keen-wah..Its a rice subsitute.Only difference is its actually quite healthy.It has high fiber and proteins.I made some with a Traegerized fresh OP Steelie and it was great.If you want to try a way better starch food try Quinoa.Its easy to make.1 cup of the grain with 2 cups of liquid.I use onion soup.It dates back to the days of the Incas.I looked it up online.Thought I'd just pass this on. HAPPY LEAP DAY.

Its a grain that I first found in a recipe book from Weight Watchers.I've found it at Trader Joes,Greenfresh Market in Renton,PFI in downtown near Safeco field and PCC stores have it.If you go on your browser and write in Quinoa it gives you some choices.

It only gave me places online to buy it. I will try the places around my area. It sounds like it would be good for me. I thought I would give it a try. Now when you said you used onion soup, does that mean that you use the soup as the liquid?

hi all, toni ,i went into yahoo and asked the question of what is quinoa and it gave me all kinds of info that i think you were looking for,like what it is,wheres it from,how to use it.pretty interesting stuff.just trying to help out. mic

Here is what Wikipedia says. I may just have to try some of this stuff.

Yes Toni I buy the powdered soup mix ie Lipton or Knorrs.I make it with hot water then use that liquid as my 2 cups to one cup of the Quinoa.Any broth or basic clear broth would work.I buy it at the Health store.I did not see it at my Safeway.Ive been making it quite a bit.It really goes with just about anything.Enjoy and Eat In Good Health.
