>>77539604I ate some quinoa. Was nice but a bit watery. I think it could work as rice substitute in burrito. It's exceedingly good cold in salads. The best thing I made with it was a salad with quinoa, steamed broccoli, grilled edamame, seeds (sunflower and pumpkin), tahini, onions sauce, lime juice, and some coriander leaf.

>>77539723you are a slave
>>77539723you're just worthless spam right now.
>>77539604It's nice that it's a complete protein, but holy shit is it hard to make it taste good. I say this as someone who likes to cook, this stuff is impossible to work with. It doesn't absorb flavors like rice does. So far I've I've tried:>quinoa curry with chickpeas and tons of spices>cooking quinoa in homemade chicken stock>quinoa fried "rice" drenched in onions sauce>Mexican chicken/avocado bowl with quinoaAll of these dishes would have been 10x better with rice instead of quinoa. The taste and texture just isn't my thing. I switched back to regular rice a while ago and don't regret it at all. It's cheaper and tastes way better, even if the macros are worse. There's probably a reason this stuff fell out of favor in South America once rice was introduced.

>>77539604Just learn to make risotto it’s really not that hard
Literally the worst. Protein to calorie ratio is shit when you factor in protein quality. Mid as a fiber source.
>>77540011Brown things are supposed to go OUT of your body, not in. So ur NGMI
>>77539604Couscous CLEARS
Any legume is better. 100% just a carb source without much other use.
>>77539604I ground it into a powder/flour and used it but even if the macros are better than rice it still has got too many carbs
quinoa, spinach, beef, bean of choice, and a seasoned egg sauce is one of my favourite meals
>>77539604I used to enjoy it when I was vegan but then I realized grains were poisonous and I stopped eating them.If you're going to eat grains, you might as well eat cheaper ones like rice. You can get a huge bag from your local Asian market and be set for months.
>>77539720>Was nice but a bit watery.You cooked it in too much water, then, or perhaps you overcooked it. Quinoa is exactly the same as rice in that way. You need the correct water-to-grain ratio and the correct cooking time.
>>77540011>oats can fuck offnewfagwhy does /fit/ never talk about oats anymore? in like 2013-2014 oats were talked about constantly to the point of being a meme
>>77539766>It doesn't absorb flavors like rice doesIt absolutely does. Just put a bunch of herbs and spices into the water. But black or red rice is tastier.
>>77539604Quinoa is very tasty but it actually has too few carbohydrates for my needs. It's a good way to cut though, just replace your white rice.
>>77543815You are retarded m8
>>77539766it's great with >cucumber >tomato >chicken >avocado >pickled onion>salt, garlic, lemon
>>77539604It is just too expensive where I live in Eastern Europe. But it is a based complete plant protein, while being a carb source.
>>77539604It is an upgrade but also much more expensive and harder to prepare than pasta or rice.
>>77540011Buckwheat is based indeedLove my buckwheat with creamy mushroom sauceSo much nutrients in this shitBased Eastern European food (I know it originates from China)
>>77539604Allegedly very good, but it’s pricey and tastes like shit.
>>77544197Back atcha faggot
>>77539604Gives me a boner so based
>>77539604>exactly 0 tasteNah I'm good. Even white rice is better than this shit.
>Quinoa is a gluten-free seed that is high in protein, fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. It can be cooked and eaten like a graintechnically it's a seed. just thought that's necessary to point out, when making comparisons.
yeah I tried QUINOA one time and now my house is haunted
Inferior to lentils in every way
>>77544199It's expensive everywhere actually
>>77543827>DAE LE SQUATS AND OATS? HAHA IM FITTING IN!!!go back
>>77539720>rice in a burritoWhat the fuck is wrong with you?
