What are you getting at? Neither of those pages mention the arsenic discussed by the article
- sp4rki 11y agoHe's promotion quinoa as a rice replacement. I approve of the sentiment that rice is shitty and quinoa (I love quinoa cus-cus) is better, but it has nothing to do at all with the article itself.
- fit2rule 11y agoThought process: "Hmm.. that sucks I like rice. I wonder what I can eat instead" .. check comments .. learn about Quinoa = relevant.
- nosuchthing 11y agoYes, just offering an alternative if anyone was interested in a replacement for rice. Quinoa cooks faster than rice, but it needs to be washed/rinsed thoroughly beforehand to remove the saponin soap like coating.
- vanderZwan 11y agoPlease give some context next time. BTW, with washing do you mean in a similar way to rinsing rice a few times?
- nosuchthing 11y agoRinse quinoa until there's no more foam/bubbles from the saponin. It's easiest with a very fine stainless steel sieve or strainer, like this: http://files.meilleurduchef.com/mdc/photo/product/mfr/fine-mesh-sieve-o-23-cm/fine-mesh-sieve-o-23-cm-1-640.jpg http://files.meilleurduchef.com/mdc/photo/product/mfr/fine-m... Alternatively, a large jar or bowl with enough headroom to fill with extra water that can be poured off and drained.
- eutectic 11y agoI don't know if it varies by location but any time I have bought quinoa in the UK it has come pre-rinsed.
- rlonstein 11y agoHere in the States read the label. Some varieties are pre-rinsed others are not. Don't mix it up. DAMHIKIJK.
- orange_county 11y agoAnd quinoa ain't so cheap in comparison to rice.
- overpaidgoogler 11y ago"Let then eat Quinoa"
- nosuchthing 11y agoQuinoa is a great alternative to rice. More rice science & nutrition: An undergraduate student at the College of Chemical Sciences in Sri Lanka and his mentor have been tinkering with a new way to cook rice that can reduce its calories by as much as 50 percent and even offer a few other added health benefits. "What we did is cook the rice as you normally do, but when the water is boiling, before adding the raw rice, we added coconut oil—about 3 percent of the weight of the rice you're going to cook," said Sudhair James, who presented his preliminary research at National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) on Monday. "After it was ready, we let it cool in the refrigerator for about 12 hours. That's it." Not all starches, as it happens, are created equal. Some, known as digestible starches, take only a little time to digest, are quickly turned into glucose, and then later glycogen. Excess glycogen ends up adding to the size of our guts if we don't expend enough energy to burn it off. Other starches, meanwhile, called resistant starches, take a long time for the body to process, aren't converted into glucose or glycogen because we lack the ability to digest them, and add up to fewer calories. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/25/scientists-have-figured-out-a-simple-way-to-cook-rice-that-dramatically-cuts-the-calories/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/25/s...
- sliverstorm 11y agoNutritionally, it seems pretty good. But agriculturally, it's hard to grow and has led to a lot of economic damage. So I've had a hard time justifying a switch.
- venomsnake 11y agoIn that case just use bulgur.
