Black quinoa is dintingued by its delicate, slightly nutty taste. The black variety is more intense and crunchy than the white variety, the most widespread. The slightly bitter taste of quinoa is due to the presence of saponins. That is why it is important to rinse the seeds well before cooking. The black variety is an alternative to other quinoa varieties. A great idea is to mix all three varieties. You can mix, in any proportions of your choice, white quinoa and black quinoa seeds and cook them until they become soft. Such a mixture is delicious and additionally creates a beautiful visual composition. The cooking mode of black quinoa is similar to that of the more widespread white variety. Preparation of all three varieties is not difficult. Before cooking, it is recommended to rinse the quinoa seeds well under cold running water. This will remove the slight bitterness and leave a delicate nutty taste. After rinsing, take two glasses of water for a glass of quinoa and cook everything for about 10-16 minutes, until the water is completely absorbed. This amount of quinoa corresponds to one serving for 3-4 people.
