Thanks, I didn't remember how much water to use. I like it as part of a range of different grains I eat. It was especially nice when we were eating gluten free because it gave us something besides rice to choose from. We used it to replace the bulgur wheat when making tabouleh. Tabouleh is a Middle Eastern or Greek salad containing parsley and wheat along with tomatoes and a dressing using lemon juice.

I use chicken broth or stock when cooking it. Be careful with quinoa if your diabetes has caused any kidney issues, as it's got more potassium in it than white rice or even brown or wild rice. It's also a bit higher than barley. It was faddish for a bit there where it was touted as a super food. It's not. (but none of the others with that label are either, because that's a marketing concept, not a nutritional one) But it's a nice grain for variety.

I am reading a good book by Dr Joel Fuhrman. Among the things he says diabetics can eat is quinoa instead of rice, and of course, lots of beans and vegetables. I just got my very first jar of quinoa this afternoon. I would like some recipes I can use it in. I will add some of this to my vegetable soup for supper tonight. I had some quinoa in a salad at a church function several years ago, and I liked it immediately. It has a lighter taste than rice. I promised myself I would get some. I finally did.
