Quinoa is a good source of Iron,Maganese,Vitamins,Phosphorus,Zinc & Minerals etc.Quinoa has become popular food item and for good reason. Quinoa has a protein content, sweet and nutty flavor, and distinct texture. It is also a good substitute for starchier pasta and rice in many dishes. A common problem when cooking quinoa is that it can result in a very bitter taste after cooking. However, there is a simple solution to prevent the bitter taste.Quinoa might be prepared like a grain, but it's actually a seed. And guess who likes seeds? Birds. So as an evolutionary defense against being eaten by birds, quinoa grows with a natural coating of a substance called saponin. Saponin has a bitter flavor which discourages birds from eating it. Unfortunately, it will also discourage you from eating it, unless you do something about itHappily, the solution to preventing bitter quinoa is very simple. All you need to do is rinse your uncooked quinoa in cold running water for a minute or so until the water runs clear. Given the small size of the quinoa, a mesh strainer works much better than a colander, because the quinoa will not get rinsed out of the holes.While rinsing the quinoa, you can sort of sift the quinoa around with your fingers to make sure it is all fully rinsed. Once the water runs clear, you can shake out the excess water and then prepare it as usual.
