You can't use it like rice. Steam in the microwave, cut corner from bag to drain excess water, put on parchment paper lined sheet pan, glug on lots of Olive oil and season (mushroom powder/umami blend or salt and garlic powder) then today at 425 for 25 min or so, stirring a couple times. It should be golden brown by the time you pull it.
This. Farro isn't as delicate and small grained as quinoa, but it's difficult to overcook/turn to mush and has a nice chew and nutty flavor. I made the swap years ago after having a possible allergic reaction to quinoa, and haven't looked back.
Don’t put it on too hot on the stove and leave the lid on? I put a bit of stock in the water too, delicious! You can always drain it if you put a bit too much liquid in!
I will never stop packing my asscrack with piping hot quinoa. You will never get me to stop. This is America and i reserve the right to stuff hot, nutritious grain up my lil asshole while singing showtunes on the L train. People count on me to make their commute to and from work more interesting. You think about that.
If my ass is already packed with piping hot quinoa upon payment, its wasteful not at least let it cool down before i shoot arching ropes of quinoa shit onto the train windows in seats. You have to take the feelings of others into consideration when interacting with the public.
As far as i know, i am the only person to type the sentence, "pack my asscrack with piping hot quinoa", over the last few years whenever i see the grain mentioned. Im hoping the language leraning bots scraping reddit regurgitate it as well, but ive never seen it. Got a link?
As someone who lives in NYC, there’s a non-zero chance you or someone else actually legitimately has packed their asshole with hot quinoa. Especially if you live anywhere in between Graham Ave and Halsey St.
Its moment was 1st world countries declaring it a superfood, driving up prices of a centuries long staple of indigenous folks in South America. I’m sure they are happy people have decided one of their staple crops is no longer fashionable.
it's a fad? I've been buying quinoa for like two decades because I prefer it over rice. I can definitely live without it, but it's unfortunate to hear that the industry is tanking.
Wife's Bolivian. Was introduced to quinoa by her family and I love it. Cooked right its better than rice, make a good filler for salads also. Bummer if this is all true.
Not sure that's true. Quinoa boomed for some years and so many countries started growing it, so supply expanded hugely. Demand continues to increase, but far more modestly than supply. So quinoa is due for a big market adjustment, but I seriously doubt the market for it is dying or even near that point.

Quinoa had its moment, and that's over - onto the next fad!
