Quinoa Pudding Recipe
Adapted from a recipe provided by Eden Foods.
Called the “vegetarian caviar,” quinoa is a mild yet flavorful, gluten-free seed that is a complete protein. Of South American origin, quinoa is delicious as a pudding, hot cereal, in salads, side dishes, and when served like rice.
The Green Glossary: Quinoa
Related to buckwheat and amaranth, quinoa is a round seed the size of a sesame seed. Increasingly popular because it is high in complete protein, quinoa has a quick cooking time and mild flavor.
Cooking Tip: Wash carefully before cooking to remove saponin coating, which can be bitter. Rinse and drain five times or more.
Storage Tip: Quinoa has a very short shelf life due to its oil content. Buy a small amount at at a time, or freeze to preserve freshness.

I am Jacqueline and I write from Bolivia.
This beautiful country, located in the heart of South America is the proud birthplace of quinoa. Although some scientists do not like to say the exact procedence of this grain, it is very nice and well educated to highlight where it really comes from, don't you think?
People in Bolivia, indigenous or not, all love quinoa and serve it in everyday food. So, I am willing to pass on some grandma recipes to you. Let me know if you are interested. Choose between a main dish, a soup, a dessert or breakfast.
Enjoy the goodies of this wonderful Bolivian grain.
Also, thanks to the writer for sharing this wonderful recipe with us.
Also, there are many types of quinua (original name), and most of them have a long shelf life. I guess the one people grow in the US is not as powerful as the one coming directly from the Bolivian Andes.
