Yes, and yes. It is one of the most nutrient-rich grains and contains more protein than most. It gets cooked like rice. My microwave has a setting for cooking it that I am anxious to try as soon as I can. I don't remember the ratio of water to quinoa, but when I find the package hiding in my cupboard, I'll give it a try in my new microwave and the new rice/pasta cooker I bought to use with the new oven.

I've had it in salad, too, and really enjoyed it. Is it hard like rice? Do you need to cook it before using it? Can someone who uses it tell us a bit about it so if we decide to go get it, we'll know what to do with it? It is nutritious, right?
