Rinse quinoa well under 
water until it runs clear (a 
few minutes) before cooking 
so that you can remove the 
"saponin", a natural insect 
repellent. It is not necessary 
to soak quinoa before 
cooking. 
1 cup quinoa (any color), 
rinsed well 
1 pinch of salt 
1.5 cups of water 
1 Lime, zested and squeezed 
INSTANT TIP: Measure Grains 
To keep your pressure cooked grains from getting mushy, pay 
very close attention to the liquid to grain ratios in a recipe—
they should be measured exactly! This can also be done 
without a measuring cup—just be sure to use the same glass 
or container to measure both the grain and the liquid.
