Is it necessary?? Ive never made it myself before but I just read stories on how people get sick from not washing.. idk how to even do it!

It is important to rinse it in water a few times cause it has a bitter outer coating. It will taste unpleasant if you don't wash it.

Rule of thumb - if someone unseen and unknown processed the food or it comes from out of the ground (and if it comes in a bag or box then someone else had) rinse it. Get yourself two or three strainers for different size food. Use the smaller one to rinse the quinoa.

I use a fresh fruit/veggie spray to rinse all of my whole grains and fruits/veggies.

Good luck!
