Quinoa question

I tried some quinoa for the first time tonight and the package says a 1/4 cup is 170 calories. So, is that cooked or dry?

  1/4 cup is dry. Quinoa is a great food

  I had quinoa with red pepper, snap pea, onion, and tuna, with a drizzle of spicy thai sauce.
  
  This has nothing to do with your question.

  If you like it, check your grocery store's bulk bins for it next time. It tends to be much cheaper than most of the packages I've seen.

  There's a book called Quinoa 365. It's very good.
