NOTE:
I soak my quinoa overnight in some filtered water and a splash of ACV to help remove saponins. Saponins are just a natural insecticide that forms naturally to protect the seed and can give the quinoa a slight bitter taste if not removed. The next day, rinse the quinoa with fresh water then pop into your saucepan with about 1.5 cups of water or broth or stock and cook gently over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
