    I use it just like rice. It's also good in salads. There is a topic in the food and nutrition for quinoa recipes. Check it out! :)

    There are some bags in the rice section. However, it's cheaper to buy it in bulk. Does your grocery store have a healh mart or bulk food section?

    In most stores where I buy it from it is in the rice isle, next to the higher ended items like couscous. It comes in regular and multi colored both are very good and can be used in lots of different ways

    No, I don't think any of them do...

    This! Lasts my husband and I a while. IN stores around me quinoa is quite expensive so I buy the big bags when Costco has them on sale for $7. Otherwise I buy it from my local health food store or bulk store.

    I use it most often mixed in with rice (half quinoa, half rice ... liquids half water and half broth). My husaband isn't a huge fan of just quinoa. When I make it just for me I make it and mix in some buffalo sauce or siracha. So good! I often use it as a base for stir frys.
