TIPS
Quinoa has a reputation for being bitter but a few quick rinses under cold water will get rid of that by removing the outer coating which contains saponinswhich causes the bitterness.
Optional but buying a fine mesh colander like the one picture here makes quick work of rinsing it. You can purchase on Amazon.
