Well, after threshing, winnowing, washing, and drying, I cooked my first Quinoa last night. I didn't get the saponins off good enough and had to throw it out after about two hours of trying to rinse and do whatever else I could think of~it was just too bitter.It seems in that all the research I have done thus far, there isn't much detail as to the "how to rinse" process...warm or cold water? How long in the washing machine? Could I just "massage" the saponins out like our "Ninjalicious" Sushi Teacher (vkphaivane@gmail.com) did with rice? There are no straight answers for the small time farmer that I have found, thus begins the uphill ride of learning. I saw this coming last April so my spirit is ready!
PS, Peace Day in Truckee Ruled!
