Questions are commonly asked about the carbohydrate content in quinoa and whether this is a concern. Here is the answer: Carbohydrates are one of the most misunderstood parts of nutrition. There is a BIG difference between processed/refined carbohydrate rich foods and wholesome/natural carbohydrate-rich foods. There is nothing wrong with the latter, and they should be a part of our regular diet, and are NOT the problem. Carbohydrates ARE our main fuel. This is a biological fact for the human body. Fats and proteins can be converted and used as fuel, but this is not as straightforward and efficient. It is just like using the wrong fuel in our car. Yes a car can run on other fuels, but it is either not as efficient or will lead to a fast or slow breakdown of the "machine". What IS a big problem is that people eat all sorts of "junk" that gets classified as "carbs" and then all carbs are given a bad reputation. Yes, people eat too much bread products, cookies, crackers, pastas, and similar foods, which are a BIG problem for health and weight. But natural, wholesome, carbohydrate-rich foods like grains, beans, and vegetables are NOT the problem. Additionally, most people eat too many oils and all sorts of processed, refined, fast and junk foods made in oils or with oils, which are a huge problem. And people eat too many fats from the wrong sources, and diets too high in protein. These ARE all problems, but not wholesome, natural plant foods, like quinoa. It is also important to understand that it is not the way to optimal health, weight and longevity to see foods as isolated nutrients, or fuss about numbers. To have a healthy relationship with food, we must think of the whole food and its value, not break it down into isolated parts, which distort the food's value. If you have been conditioned to fear carbohydrates, it will be very helpful to either learn some basic biology of the human body, or consult the work of whole-food, leading-edge nutrition leaders like Dr. John McDougall (th-cam.com/video/YRxORmX-RrQ/w-d-xo.html), Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and the many similar doctors and movements that are helping people come back to what real food and real eating is all about.
Healthytarian, thanks for the explanation about bad and good carbs. I believe that just as all carbs are given bad names, all glutens are given bad names. The body needs everything to be balanced and I believe good gluten should be consumed for the body or skin will be dry and crusty without it. I think lady's fingers, which is Okra, gives a healthy stain that the body needs. Do you know any more healthy gluten that should be consumed? In everything, there is good and bad; we just have to consume the right ones. I await your response.
The problem is the food fads! Whenever we alarm like no carb, no oil, only protein, latest one, ketogenic diet, etc interfere with the normal balanced food triangle. So as here it is said, alarm should be on to processed foods n the said fads. So enjoy a natural balanced, varieties of all available food grains, lentils, pulses, fruits n multi coloured vegetables.
@lonie As with all things, but especially nutrition, it is about the whole package, not any isolated details. People take things out of context, like gluten, where it is not the gluten that is the big problem, but the food that it is in. Eating whole organic rye or wheat or spelt is not a bad thing, as long as someone does not have Celiac disease. What is bad, not just for gluten but for many other reasons, are all the processed and refined grain foods that also contain gluten. It can be argued that modern wheat in general is a problem, but that aside, the focus should always be on eating the right foods and not isolated this or that compound, which is never the answer to optimal health.
@Annamma Yes, food fads are definitely a big problem and play a big role in people's obsessions about food and all the different controversies and arguments. And yes, you are correct, the focus should be on eliminating processed foods period, regardless of what they contain or don't contain, rather than focusing and obsessing about any specific nutrient or food compound. Your list of food fad examples is perfect, except for the oil, which is actually a very processed food, regardless of the type of oil, and hence why true whole-food, plant-based diets do not include any oil.
WE must rinse quinoa many times, better soak it too to get rid of saponin and bitterness but the quinoa flour is NOT RINSED, s I Google quinoa side effects is leaky gut due to not rinsing it . Even rinsed it's not recommended to be eaten everyda Vitamins are mostly lost in boiling unfortunately
Hello from Egypt, I've eaten quinoa salad. Here's the recipe; Arugula leaves, apple slices, quinoa, raw onion rings, vinegar, bees honey. It was beyond perfection, so I thought of sharing it with the whole world to enjoy the sweet n sour quinoa salad ❤❤

Thank you for your reply to my email. Its been a long journey - 5 years ill, no one talked to me about my diet. At about 2 years ago i realized i had to take my health into my own hands. I started researching and just as you told me in your email i was led to the plant based diet. I bought the book Healing and Prevention through Nutrition, and what a blessing and joy it has been. Im changing my whole environment and way of eating and caring for myself. Amazingly after 5 months of eating axplant based diet i had my first in normal range blood work, and im feeling better and better every day. Thank you for your wonderful book, website andxnutritional information. Sharon california
This is all SO amazing to hear Sharon! I am so happy for you :) And I thank you so much for your beautiful feedback about my book and work. It means so much, and is so kind of you to share. To your continued best health and healing!
How wonderful to listen to a well spoken, intelligent presenter. Your soft spoken, thoughtful presentation was enough to secure my subscription to your program. Will implement your ideas and instructions today. Thank you!
One of the best and detailed cooking video's on Quinoa. I got into it after hearing my workers talk about it and love the pre made ones you just throw in the microwave but can get pricey and hard to find. You should have your own cooking show, be a news anchor or model. Very clear speaking no rambling and freaking gorgeous.
Nardev.... I have been eating quinoa for several years but watching your video has given me so much insight and comfort that I have been eating something that is extremely healthy. God bless you!
When I start to watch your video, I was thinking this too long and intended to just get few minutes , but I couldn’t your presentation is more than excellent and the knowledge you gave are great, I could not escape even one second !! Thanks 🙏 a lot
Thank you, Evita. Not only are you intelligent and knowledgeable, your presentation is well worth the watch..................and easily undertaken. :-)
I enjoy eating quinoa almost every day. I cooked sautéed vegetables then mix them together. At first, I would mix it with rice, but now, I enjoy it. I also give my husband and he loves it. Thanks for sharing this info as well.
First of all, thanks for uploading this great video about this superfood. I usually make quinoa as an Indian version ,called quinoa Upma. Basically it’s mix of veggies with onion tomato garlic sautéed , and just adding cooked quinoa to it. It tastes delicious!😊
Yes, delish, and I like to add avocado and/or asparagus, too. I love how pretty red quinoa looks on the plate. I add 2 T butter and 1/2 salt to the quinoa while cooking.
At age 70,I have just learned about this wonderful seed food from eating it in a green vegetable salad. It took on the flavors used in this healthy delicious chicken salad. It is fast becoming my new favorite food. Thanks so much for this wonderfully simple and useful cooking video.
Lynette from Sydney Australia thank you i enjoyed your video i am 72 and going vegan i was a vegetarian for some time but feel it will be better for my health i look forward to seeing more in the future
How wonderful to hear Lynette! I am so happy for you, as yes indeed to clean out our diet in a way that creates a foundation of whole plant foods means to give our bodies the best support possible. To your best health!
I saw organic quinoa the other day next to chia seeds which I bought because I already know their great health benefits but I had no previous knowledge about quinoa and that's why I decided to find out and, fortunately, I came across your great and informative video. Thanks.
Hello, and greetings from Nottingham, UK! I've just seen your great video about quinoa, and I loved it!!! I've been eating this yummy seed for six years now and it's a firm favourite. I buy organic tricolore from my brilliant health food shop, and I can easily buy it on line too. I've experimented by cooking it with amaranth, which produced a very interesting 'porridge', and I really enjoy this with organic honey, a few drips of good vanilla extract, some pistachios and a goodly dollop of natural yoghurt, organic - of course! I've just bought some whole cardamon pods and I'll bash up a couple and add to my quinoa ioday to prepare my next batch. Pomegranate seeds with their gorgeous gleaming pinkness and a drizzle of date nectar with some toasted almond flakes are tomorrow's breakfast!!!
+Karen Titmus Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comment and feedback Karen. And great to hear about your meal approach to quinoa and whole, plant foods! To your best health :)
Karen Titmus you seem to have a really good energy and excitement about eating healthy foods and preparing them. Just don't really understand about the disconnect. Why you are using and still consuming animal products like honey and the yogurt. And you stress that your yogurt is organic like that makes some sort of difference. It doesn't. The dairy industry is cruel and corrupt in every country~"organic" doesn't change that. Dairy is dairy and if you just do some research right here on TH-cam you will likely be rethinking some of your choices. The way you use quinoa is potentially awesome and just a little bit of tweaking once you understand about Dairy is all you will have to do to make those recipes of yours optimal. And I promise you they will be just as yummy. When we know better we do better.
i love Quinoa, if i am going to use it for breakfast or in my smoothies i add cinnamon and a little ground cloves and ground ginger as it is cooking, for use with my lunch or dinner meals i add curry powder to the water as it is cooking....good stuff ;-))
Thank you so much for taking the time out to share in depth information regarding the benefits and use of quinoa. Its was very informative as I'm about to introduce quinoa to my family...this presentation need a five star💯💫👌Thank you for sharing
this was such a good informative video. I have wanted to try it, but did not know how to use it. thank you for explaining the health benifits and how to prepare it.
Amazing video, U just reminded me about a decision I made but neglected amost 10 years ago. Quinoa is very easy to grow but people overlook its nutritional benefits. We eat too much of rice and suffer the consequences of lack of nutritional diversity.
It was a pleasure to listen and watch this video. Extremely well explained and very informative. I love quinoa, have been eating it for a long time now, but learned quiet a lot from you.
+connie medeiros What a pleasure to hear! Thanks so much for watching Connie, and for taking the time to share your wonderful and very helpful feedback with me.
That was an amazing tutorial on quinoa. I bought some quinoa a month ago, but wasn't sure what to do with it, so, it's still sitting in my pantry. thank you so much.
This was so interesting and you were so thoroughly enjoyable to listen to and to learn from. Thank you. I will definitely try cooking with Quinoa very soon.
Great lesson. I now have a better understanding of what quinoa is; how to pronounce the name; and most important, how to prepare it. I will definitely try to cook it again.
Just started using quinoa to replace rice in my diet ( eating habits) for now im eating in steamed plain mush as a side dish, replacing rice as well as pasta...im enjoying it so far & plan to experiment later with other options on how to eat quinoa 👍👍
Thank you, I purchased a bag as part of my new healthy/proper eating plan, but wasn't exactly sure of the best way or ways to prepare & include it in my meals, this is very helpful, blessings.
I'm going to give quinoa a try again. The first time I cooked it, I didn't rinse it nor did I soak it. It was SO bland and had a strange bitter flavor that I didn't like it. I tried adding salt to cover that up and I felt like I had to add more salt than I wanted to. That was 7 years ago. I never thought of using it as a sweet dish in place of hot cereal. :-o Maybe I could make a rice pudding, with almond or cashew milk, raisins, cinnamon & nutmeg, but with quinoa instead of rice and maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Also, one thing that turned my friends off of quinoa is the little curly part that looks worm-ish once it's cooked. I hope I can get my husband and Mom to eat it and look past the curly pieces. Thank you for this video.
You are most welcome! And yes, quinoa can be an acquired taste and definitely goes better with stronger flavors, than on its own. Given that you have so many great ideas, as you shared in your comment, I am sure you will find a way to make it most enjoyable :)
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Janet. As it is in our world today, people find all kinds of things to pick on and not like, rather than focusing on that which they do appreciate and enjoy. Best wishes to you for good health and wellbeing!
😊Excellent video! I enjoy eating Quinoa often. I will add one thing. In addition to cooking Quinoa, fermenting . . . (“cooked”) . . . Quinoa for 8-12 hours (or more) is the best way to . . “increase” . . it’s nutritional value and get “more” probiotics. Viewers, find a recipe for fermenting grains & seeds that works for you. There are several on the (Internet). I think it tastes better too! 😊 Thank you Evita
From Okotoks AlbertaCanada Your presentation is clear. The topic is well covered in all aspects. Tkyou for this. The information is very educationally helpful and nutritionally beneficial.
I dry roast quinoa on low heat till it looks a bit brown, then add ,say, to one cup quinoa 1.5 water. Now I add a handful of shreded coconut and cook covered on very low heat till water is gone and quinoa looks fluffy. its delicious !!
Great to hear this works for you. In general, for optimal health I encourage people to avoid roasting or toasting their food, as the high heat and color change alone gives us lots of clues that we are denaturing and destroying its nutritional potential. So the less we process our food, whether at home or industrially, the better. To your best health!
Toasting is not recommened in addition to boiling, as every time that heat is applied to food is changes the nutritional value and denatures many nutrients. This is why only boiling is recommened, and once cooked this way then many delicious meals can be made with the quinoa by adding spices and other whole plant food ingredients, including delicious sauces like these: th-cam.com/video/cEv9GR-TeeE/w-d-xo.html In the end, we have to decide if we want to manipulate our food in excessive ways just to please our tastebuds or if we want to take care of our food to best support our body's needs.
This was exactly what I needed, very informative and helpful, thank you, this is an excellent introduction for newbies like me. Subscribed, can't wait to see what else you have uploaded. Many thanks from Warwickshire UK.
Hello Healthytarian, This video is far by the best video I've seen all week. I am a new subscriber trying desperately to eat and prepare healthier food for myself as well as my precious family. I bought quinoa but just did not know how to prepare it, thanks so much.
Hi Lizzie :) Thank you so much for your great comment and valuable feedback. It is great to hear you enjoyed the video so much and I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. To your best health!
Very informative and helpful. My first experience with quinoa was horrible. A friend made a salad of quinoa, some oil, and chopped veggies. I couldn't eat it because every spoonful I choked on it trying to swallow it. Then I tried it again as a quinoa patty with veggies in it and grilled. It tasted pretty good but still dry (don't breath it in while talking) and I also discovered that quinoa is an extremely high fiber food which acts very quickly. Eventually I found that a salad using a small amount of quinoa with chopped veggies, chopped nuts, garlic or onions chopped, and enough olive oil to make this salad easy to swallow was the perfect way so far to consume it for me. Now I feel that I can try it as a cooked cereal for breakfast 😊, remembering that it is a super fiber so don't need much. I bought some dry packaged 'sprouted' quinoa and I have some bulk tricolor quinoa in a jar. Not sure of the shelf life of quinoa? Also, I will try cooking it in my little rice cooker.
Great to hear that you are finding ways to enjoy it that work for you, Diana. Ultimately, healthy eating should be enjoyable and it is okay not to like quinoa, or other foods like it, assuming you gave it a fair try in several meal forms. Just because some of these seemingly novel items are now available in other countries to which they are not native and widely advertised, does not mean we need to eat them. The healthy whole plant foods that are mostly local, seasonal, and available to us normally are usually the best options for us to focus on and center our diets around. As for the shelf life of quinoa, it is similar to all other *dry grains and beans*, meaning that under proper storage conditions, it can last a year or more. The key is to keep it in a sealed container, not exposed to air, and in a dry and relatively cool place. Sprouted dry quinoa should be consumed within a faster time frame, but will still be fine for months. And sure, you can try cooking it in a rice cooker, but it will be much faster to cook it on the stovetop since quinoa only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, as I share in the video. All the best!
You are awesome intelligent educated very understandable speaking how can people how to take care of them selfwhen they are worried about diabetes thanks million💐🙏
My pleasure, Lyn. And yes, if you feel called to it, definitely give it a try, but be sure to use it as part of a meal you will like, or else it can be quite bland for people who are not used to it.
Hello Evita, one of my friend gave me the quinoa to try out but I didn't now that I saw your video, you show so many different way to make it. Thank you for explaining it so beautifully.
i bought a bag of this today for the first time. my daughter told me about this. due to having health problems & to loose weight..which i need for all. i hope i will like it & if not im not going to stop useing it.. gotta go for it.. great video. very clear spoking. thank you for the info.
Thank you for the feedback about the video. Please keep in mind that weight loss must be approached from a whole diet perspective in order to be effective, and not through any single foods. The key is to keep adding the healthiest and most weight-friendly foods, like whole plant foods, and keep reducing the foods that are most problematic for our health and weight, like processed and animal foods. Best wishes!
Thank you so much for sharing this very informative video, I've heard of Quinoa but had absolutely no idea how to use it, I will be trying this in a salad recipe. Instructions were so clear that I'm sure I won't create a disaster.Again thanks so much. I'm in Fla and this will be great for the hot humid months ahead.
so i had a quinoa bowl with grilled chicken, some thinly sliced red onion, some sliced avocado and some honey sriracha sauce last week from a local deli and was immediately hooked. went out and bought myself some quinoa and i got the cheapest kind i could (think boil-in-a-bag) - just to experiment and not spend too much on my first attempt. today i packed a lunch w/ quinoa, steamed shrimp, cherry tomatoes.i seasoned the quinoa with garlic herb butter. it wasn't AS healthy as the fancy bowl i got from the restaurant (had a lot more salt), but it was 1000x more healthy than what i would have brought/bought otherwise. i'm a white rice addict and i really am enjoying this "replacement" for rice. i've had a sensitivity to gluten my whole life, so i try to steer clear from eating too much bread. just wanted to share that i'm a new quinoa convert and i learned a lot from your video! thank you!
This video is very helpful. You are using an electric stove and I have an electric stove so it's good to know how to properly set for cooking. Awesome video
Thank-you Evita, This was so helpful as I am new to Quinoa. Just made my first patch I bought but had never used.. A success with a salad. A new staple for me now! :)
I enjoyed your video so much. Although I am using quinoa for few years now, have lots of recipes, it is so nice to hear, once again, why it is so good and healthy. Your soothing voice made it even more pleasant to listen! Thank you for the great video :)
I really enjoyed this your very informative I think you covered everything I wanted to know about quinoa my first experience was bad because I didn't rinse the quinoa
Salam to you Evita, I am reza, ... you deserve a big THANK YOU for the very informative and splendid video. The clarity of the presentation made so easy to follow and practise the suggestions. Although, in my country, Indonesia, rice is the staple food, just like in many Asian countries, recently I personally, have been consuming quinoa as part of my non-rice diet, Bob's Red Mill. And yes, you're so right, quinoa goes well with either, savoury, spicy, sweet or any well-combined flavour. Easy ... healthy ... versatile ... blessed ... Thank you again Evita / HealthTarian !
Hello Reza, it is a pleasure to receive your lovely comment and really great to hear you are enjoying the wonderful versatility of quinoa. Thank you so much for your great feedback! Wishing you many delicious meals :)
Really very nice video. It describes what are the nutrition of Quinoa, how to cook it and mainly different recipes for it. Many thanks for this Kind of making videos.... 😊😊
I have found that it is best ground into flour and added to pancake and waffle batter!! So good!! I also just add it to my granola with all the seeds, nuts and old fashion rolled oats, wheat germ and coconut! It's the only grain that is a complete protein!
Thank you for sharing your quinoa eating preferences, Patricia. With regard to the protein, please note that the idea of "complete" and "incomplete" proteins is a myth and has been greatly misguiding people in our society to seeing whole plant foods as inferior to animal foods. All whole plant foods contain complete proteins, and I educate about this fully in my Plant and Animal Protein Myths guide here: www.evolvingwellness.com/post/protein-myths-about-plant-and-animal-protein-sources
Thanks for your informative video. In the UK we can also buy Quinoa Puffs which I add to my homemade muesli. It is certainly a very versatile seed for us vegans.
Fantastic. Very informative. I've been using quinoa for some time now. This vid enforces my use of the food. Your presentation and ethos is very inspirational. Thank you Evita.
Awesome thank you I enjoyed your video I love it , it is very informative video I never used it before because I did not know to good it , now I know how to use it Excellent .God bless you..
I’ve never had quinoa but it has been suggested with a new diet for arthritis. Your video was so informative, you were a huge help to me. I’ve subscribed! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just tried eating this & I was intrigued. I might begin to eat this! Eating rice, wheat, flour, & corn tortillas it makes me get swollen. I hope this helps.
This was excellent info and well done! Thank you so much! I want to try quinoa but i only found the red quinoa. I will do the research to find out the difference. Thanks again!
+Carla Sings That is great to hear and I appreciate your feedback very much. When it comes to plants, there are usually several varieties of the same plant or food crop, and the same is the case for quinoa. Different varieties can be slightly different in color or size, and have slightly different, but overall the same nutritional properties. In the end with varieties of quinoa, or chia seeds, or similar foods, it comes down to a matter of personal preference or practicality (i.e. what can you get easier, which may be cheaper, etc.)
Thank you for this video. Found this very informative. Just discovered I'm a type 2 diabetic and I'm looking for ways to cut out starches and quinoa sounds like the perfect substitute.
Hello there .. thanks for your video..it's very informative about the quinoa.. this is the first time I come to know about this heavenly blessed food on earth with tremondeous amount healthy nutrients ... I really , appreciate your explanation about this product ... I add this product in my daily life from now... thanks mam.. take care .. God bless you .. 🤗🤗☺😊👍💪
Thanks Madam... I belive , you love the organic foods.. if you know any such healthy food for muscle growing ... I am about to start bodybuidling...I love only organic food apart from other food .. the main part of your watching video is .. you explanation is so research and deep and moreover very clear understandable.. I appreciate you more and God bless you so much to you and near dears...
Thanks Suresh. For muscle building the most important thing is to eat enough food that is high in nutrients, not any one specific food. But I will caution you about following the trendy fitness muscle building advice, which neglects to consider how what you do today will impact your future health. High meat or animal product diets or supplements or protein powders are not the way to best health or fitness. To learn the most up-date science about nutrition that excels for athletes and body builders, look into this film, "The Game Changers" (gamechangersmovie.com/), as well as body builders like Robert Cheeke (robertcheeke.net/) and Patrick Baboumian (th-cam.com/video/6XmcyMxN8sI/w-d-xo.html)
@@Healthytarian - thanks mam.. you are so sweet ..you provided me very important links ..for developing the muscles .. and also the healthy diet.. I am using quinoa in my Every day life .. it keeps me very active and fit ... Thank you so much ... I love the way you explain the video with a very simple and lucid language ... mam I want to know foods that are organic rich in calcium apart from diary products ..pls .. Thanks once again ..I love you so much 😊😊😊😊🤗🤗😍
You are very welcome. With regards to food rich in calcium, in general, as long as you are eating a variety of foods daily, you don't ever have to worry about getting enough calcium without dairy. This means eating some fruits, some vegetables, including leafy greens and green vegetables, some grains, some beans, and some nuts or seeds daily. All of these foods have some calcium and together it all adds up. Plus, when we eat whole, plant foods mostly or fully in our diet, we don't have an acidic diet that requires more calcium, like diets rich in processed foods and animal foods. But if you want extra rich sources of calcium, look to foods like leafy greens, green vegetables, almonds, sesame seeds/tahini, figs, and most beans and lentils. See here for more info: www.pcrm.org/health/diets/vsk/vegetarian-starter-kit-calcium

Healthytarian, thanks for the explanation about bad and good carbs. I believe that just as all carbs are given bad names, all glutens are given bad names.

This is all SO amazing to hear Sharon! I am so happy for you :) And I thank you so much for your beautiful feedback about my book and work. It means so much, and is so kind of you to share. To your continued best health and healing!
Listening to Evita is a joy within itself, she is so calming! Thank you for this! :)
+Airidoka You are so very welcome and thank you for that kind compliment :)
How wonderful to listen to a well spoken, intelligent presenter. Your soft spoken, thoughtful presentation was enough to secure my subscription to your program. Will implement your ideas and instructions today. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback Al!
Tha k you fir so details of information.
One of the best and detailed cooking video's on Quinoa. I got into it after hearing my workers talk about it and love the pre made ones you just throw in the microwave but can get pricey and hard to find. You should have your own cooking show, be a news anchor or model. Very clear speaking no rambling and freaking gorgeous.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and meaningful feedback. It is greatly appreciated :)
Nardev.... I have been eating quinoa for several years but watching your video has given me so much insight and comfort that I have been eating something that is extremely healthy. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks for the detailed and interesting description. The best information on Quinoa I have ever seen! 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your nice comment, Andy.
Thank you for putting the time stamps of the topics covered in this vid in your show notes. Love your voice & clear presentation. Ty from NH USA.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your kind feedback, Marirose.
One of the best videos on quinoa I've seen! 🎉😊
Awesome to hear :) Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with me!
When I start to watch your video, I was thinking this too long and intended to just get few minutes , but I couldn’t your presentation is more than excellent and the knowledge you gave are great, I could not escape even one second !! Thanks 🙏 a lot
Thank you! Your kindness and appreciation mean a lot and I am grateful for you sharing your comment with me.
Thank you, Evita. Not only are you intelligent and knowledgeable, your presentation is well worth the watch..................and easily undertaken. :-)
I use it in tacos as a meat replacement. It's also great for nachos again as a meat replacement. Its wonderful for it. Love how versatile it is
What a great idea! I never thought of that! Thanks!
@@Raccoon_Mama. you're very welcome🤗😍
I think lentils are a better fit for Mexican food replacement protein but to each is own.
Excellent to hear, and thanks for sharing your tip here.
I enjoy eating quinoa almost every day. I cooked sautéed vegetables then mix them together. At first, I would mix it with rice, but now, I enjoy it. I also give my husband and he loves it. Thanks for sharing this info as well.
Great to hear Cher! Thanks for sharing your comment.
First of all, thanks for uploading this great video about this superfood. I usually make quinoa as an Indian version ,called quinoa Upma. Basically it’s mix of veggies with onion tomato garlic sautéed , and just adding cooked quinoa to it. It tastes delicious!😊
what a fantastic idea!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much for sharing your nice comment and tip for others to benefit from, Poonam!
Yes, delish, and I like to add avocado and/or asparagus, too. I love how pretty red quinoa looks on the plate. I add 2 T butter and 1/2 salt to the quinoa while cooking.
At age 70,I have just learned about this wonderful seed food from eating it in a green vegetable salad.
It took on the flavors used in this healthy delicious chicken salad. It is fast becoming my new favorite food.
Thanks so much for this wonderfully simple and useful cooking video.
You are most welcome Bonnie, and thank you for watching!
Lynette from Sydney Australia thank you i enjoyed your video i am 72 and going vegan i was a vegetarian for some time but feel it will be better for my health i look forward to seeing more in the future
How wonderful to hear Lynette! I am so happy for you, as yes indeed to clean out our diet in a way that creates a foundation of whole plant foods means to give our bodies the best support possible. To your best health!
I saw organic quinoa the other day next to chia seeds which I bought because I already know their great health benefits but I had no previous knowledge about quinoa and that's why I decided to find out and, fortunately, I came across your great and informative video. Thanks.
You are very welcome, and thank you for sharing your comment and nice feedback :)
Hello, and greetings from Nottingham, UK! I've just seen your great video about quinoa, and I loved it!!! I've been eating this yummy seed for six years now and it's a firm favourite. I buy organic tricolore from my brilliant health food shop, and I can easily buy it on line too. I've experimented by cooking it with amaranth, which produced a very interesting 'porridge', and I really enjoy this with organic honey, a few drips of good vanilla extract, some pistachios and a goodly dollop of natural yoghurt, organic - of course! I've just bought some whole cardamon pods and I'll bash up a couple and add to my quinoa ioday to prepare my next batch. Pomegranate seeds with their gorgeous gleaming pinkness and a drizzle of date nectar with some toasted almond flakes are tomorrow's breakfast!!!
+Karen Titmus Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comment and feedback Karen. And great to hear about your meal approach to quinoa and whole, plant foods! To your best health :)
cool
Karen Titmus you seem to have a really good energy and excitement about eating healthy foods and preparing them. Just don't really understand about the disconnect. Why you are using and still consuming animal products like honey and the yogurt. And you stress that your yogurt is organic like that makes some sort of difference. It doesn't. The dairy industry is cruel and corrupt in every country~"organic" doesn't change that. Dairy is dairy and if you just do some research right here on TH-cam you will likely be rethinking some of your choices. The way you use quinoa is potentially awesome and just a little bit of tweaking once you understand about Dairy is all you will have to do to make those recipes of yours optimal. And I promise you they will be just as yummy. When we know better we do better.

WowW.. That sounds really yummie😍
cooking it for the first time, not six inches to the right of my laptop - Fantastic overview history, soul and uses of quinoa!
Awesome, I hope you enjoyed it! And thank you for watching and sharing your comment.
i love Quinoa, if i am going to use it for breakfast or in my smoothies i add cinnamon and a little ground cloves and ground ginger as it is cooking, for use with my lunch or dinner meals i add curry powder to the water as it is cooking....good stuff ;-))
Beautiful and healthy additions! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your personal experience with quinoa :)
Boot Nreboot it nice with coconut milk half cook trout off the water then put in the coconut milk
Thank you so much for taking the time out to share in depth information regarding the benefits and use of quinoa. Its was very informative as I'm about to introduce quinoa to my family...this presentation need a five star💯💫👌Thank you for sharing
You are super welcome, Sharon, and thank you so much for your beautiful feedback and comment :)
this was such a good informative video. I have wanted to try it, but did not know how to use it. thank you for explaining the health benifits and how to prepare it.
My pleasure, and how wonderful to read your comment and feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share :)
Amazing video, U just reminded me about a decision I made but neglected amost 10 years ago. Quinoa is very easy to grow but people overlook its nutritional benefits. We eat too much of rice and suffer the consequences of lack of nutritional diversity.
Thank you kindly for your feedback and personal thoughts about using it in the diet.
It was a pleasure to listen and watch this video. Extremely well explained and very informative. I love quinoa, have been eating it for a long time now, but learned quiet a lot from you.
+connie medeiros What a pleasure to hear! Thanks so much for watching Connie, and for taking the time to share your wonderful and very helpful feedback with me.
I love your presentation. You know it well. Love that you talk fast clearly and super trained.
Thank you very much for your positive and valuable feedback :)
Quinoa from my beautiful Peru 🇵🇪 ....Well Done vídeo!! Keep it up!! 👍❣️❣️❣️
Awesome! Thank you, Monica :)
That was an amazing tutorial on quinoa. I bought some quinoa a month ago, but wasn't sure what to do with it, so, it's still sitting in my pantry. thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you, Charmaine, and best wishes for your health and wellbeing.
This was so interesting and you were so thoroughly enjoyable to listen to and to learn from. Thank you. I will definitely try cooking with Quinoa very soon.
I appreciate your feedback, Santi. Kind regards!
Great lesson. I now have a better understanding of what quinoa is; how to pronounce the name; and most important, how to prepare it. I will definitely try to cook it again.
Glad to hear you found the video helpful, thank you for your feedback!
Beautiful, quiet voice n style of speaking. Calming n easy to understand.
Thanks.
Thank you for your nice feedback.
Thank you, the best tutorial & recipes I have read about this grain.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your nice comment, Augustina.
Just started using quinoa to replace rice in my diet ( eating habits) for now im eating in steamed plain mush as a side dish, replacing rice as well as pasta...im enjoying it so far & plan to experiment later with other options on how to eat quinoa 👍👍
Great to hear, Clayton. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I purchased a bag as part of my new healthy/proper eating plan, but wasn't exactly sure of the best way or ways to prepare & include it in my meals, this is very helpful, blessings.
Great to hear, thank you very much for your nice comment.
I'm going to give quinoa a try again. The first time I cooked it, I didn't rinse it nor did I soak it. It was SO bland and had a strange bitter flavor that I didn't like it. I tried adding salt to cover that up and I felt like I had to add more salt than I wanted to. That was 7 years ago. I never thought of using it as a sweet dish in place of hot cereal. :-o Maybe I could make a rice pudding, with almond or cashew milk, raisins, cinnamon & nutmeg, but with quinoa instead of rice and maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Also, one thing that turned my friends off of quinoa is the little curly part that looks worm-ish once it's cooked. I hope I can get my husband and Mom to eat it and look past the curly pieces. Thank you for this video.
You are most welcome! And yes, quinoa can be an acquired taste and definitely goes better with stronger flavors, than on its own. Given that you have so many great ideas, as you shared in your comment, I am sure you will find a way to make it most enjoyable :)
I love the way you've explained quinoa
Thank you, Jesse, I appreciate your feedback.
This is a very good video....I can't understand why anyone would dislike this video..
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Janet. As it is in our world today, people find all kinds of things to pick on and not like, rather than focusing on that which they do appreciate and enjoy. Best wishes to you for good health and wellbeing!
Watched thoroughly. More than perfect and pleasant presentation. Advice taken. Pleased to watch you.
Glad it was helpful, and I appreciate your lovely feedback. Thank you!
😊Excellent video! I enjoy eating Quinoa often. I will add one thing. In addition to cooking Quinoa, fermenting . . . (“cooked”) . . . Quinoa for 8-12 hours (or more) is the best way to . . “increase” . . it’s nutritional value and get “more” probiotics. Viewers, find a recipe for fermenting grains & seeds that works for you. There are several on the (Internet). I think it tastes better too! 😊 Thank you Evita
Great tip! Thank you for sharing your advice and for your lovely feedback.
From Okotoks AlbertaCanada
Your presentation is clear. The topic is well covered in all aspects. Tkyou for this. The information is very educationally helpful and nutritionally beneficial.
You're very welcome! And I thank you kindly for your great feedback.
I dry roast quinoa on low heat till it looks a bit brown, then add ,say, to one cup quinoa 1.5 water. Now I add a handful of shreded coconut and cook covered on very low heat till water is gone and quinoa looks fluffy. its delicious !!
Great to hear this works for you. In general, for optimal health I encourage people to avoid roasting or toasting their food, as the high heat and color change alone gives us lots of clues that we are denaturing and destroying its nutritional potential. So the less we process our food, whether at home or industrially, the better. To your best health!
The only way to cook it is to toast it first, wash it then boil it. At least to make it taste nice and have a good texture
Does that change the nutrition in any way? I’m new to quinoa, so teach me here.
Toasting is not recommened in addition to boiling, as every time that heat is applied to food is changes the nutritional value and denatures many nutrients. This is why only boiling is recommened, and once cooked this way then many delicious meals can be made with the quinoa by adding spices and other whole plant food ingredients, including delicious sauces like these: th-cam.com/video/cEv9GR-TeeE/w-d-xo.html
In the end, we have to decide if we want to manipulate our food in excessive ways just to please our tastebuds or if we want to take care of our food to best support our body's needs.
Very informative & helpful for me on an anti inflammatory diet. Your video great. No background annoying music & direct & to the point.
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your nice feedback :)
This was exactly what I needed, very informative and helpful, thank you, this is an excellent introduction for newbies like me. Subscribed, can't wait to see what else you have uploaded.

Also, you have a very nice, quiet n clear way of speaking. Much appreciated.
Great to hear your nice feedback, thank you.
Hello Healthytarian, This video is far by the best video I've seen all week. I am a new subscriber trying desperately to eat and prepare healthier food for myself as well as my precious family. I bought quinoa but just did not know how to prepare it, thanks so much.
Hi Lizzie :) Thank you so much for your great comment and valuable feedback. It is great to hear you enjoyed the video so much and I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. To your best health!
Very informative and helpful. My first experience with quinoa was horrible. A friend made a salad of quinoa, some oil, and chopped veggies. I couldn't eat it because every spoonful I choked on it trying to swallow it. Then I tried it again as a quinoa patty with veggies in it and grilled. It tasted pretty good but still dry (don't breath it in while talking) and I also discovered that quinoa is an extremely high fiber food which acts very quickly. Eventually I found that a salad using a small amount of quinoa with chopped veggies, chopped nuts, garlic or onions chopped, and enough olive oil to make this salad easy to swallow was the perfect way so far to consume it for me. Now I feel that I can try it as a cooked cereal for breakfast 😊, remembering that it is a super fiber so don't need much. I bought some dry packaged 'sprouted' quinoa and I have some bulk tricolor quinoa in a jar. Not sure of the shelf life of quinoa? Also, I will try cooking it in my little rice cooker.
Great to hear that you are finding ways to enjoy it that work for you, Diana. Ultimately, healthy eating should be enjoyable and it is okay not to like quinoa, or other foods like it, assuming you gave it a fair try in several meal forms. Just because some of these seemingly novel items are now available in other countries to which they are not native and widely advertised, does not mean we need to eat them. The healthy whole plant foods that are mostly local, seasonal, and available to us normally are usually the best options for us to focus on and center our diets around.
As for the shelf life of quinoa, it is similar to all other *dry grains and beans*, meaning that under proper storage conditions, it can last a year or more. The key is to keep it in a sealed container, not exposed to air, and in a dry and relatively cool place. Sprouted dry quinoa should be consumed within a faster time frame, but will still be fine for months.
And sure, you can try cooking it in a rice cooker, but it will be much faster to cook it on the stovetop since quinoa only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, as I share in the video. All the best!
You are awesome intelligent educated very understandable speaking how can people how to take care of them selfwhen they are worried about diabetes thanks million💐🙏
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment and feedback Fareida :)
I am not a quinoa lover but you have encouraged me to try it out. Thank you for you talk
My pleasure, Lyn. And yes, if you feel called to it, definitely give it a try, but be sure to use it as part of a meal you will like, or else it can be quite bland for people who are not used to it.

As I am a newbie vegan I am very happy to have found you.
Lovely to hear Jeanne :)
Excellent explanation! I am new for that product and today I learned well how to buy, use and prepare it. Thanks.
Thank you for your great comment and feedback :)
Hello Evita, one of my friend gave me the quinoa to try out but I didn't now that I saw your video, you show so many different way to make it. Thank you for explaining it so beautifully.
You are most welcome Sharon and thanks for the feedback. Wonderful that you can enjoy this healthy and wholesome plant food in your diet!
i enjoyed every minute. Thanks, Greetings from Accra, Ghana, West Africa.
Wonderful to hear, and thank you!
i bought a bag of this today for the first time. my daughter told me about this. due to having health problems & to loose weight..which i need for all. i hope i will like it & if not im not going to stop useing it.. gotta go for it.. great video. very clear spoking. thank you for the info.
Thank you for the feedback about the video. Please keep in mind that weight loss must be approached from a whole diet perspective in order to be effective, and not through any single foods. The key is to keep adding the healthiest and most weight-friendly foods, like whole plant foods, and keep reducing the foods that are most problematic for our health and weight, like processed and animal foods. Best wishes!
Wow, what a great video, Thank you thank you, this is the most perfect video I have ever seen for food info.
My pleasure, Gemma, and thank you for your nice comment.
This is the best most informative clip ever....Rachel from Alabama
Thank you so much, Rachel :)
Thank you so much for sharing this very informative video, I've heard of Quinoa but had absolutely no idea how to use it, I will be trying this in a salad recipe. Instructions were so clear that I'm sure I won't create a disaster.Again thanks so much. I'm in Fla and this will be great for the hot humid months ahead.
You are most welcome Carolee! I am so glad you liked the video and will benefit from it when making healthy meals.
Evita Ochel, our compliments for a superbly presented video about quinoa.
Thank you kindly Chet :)
Such an informative video. I knew quinoa was good, but I didn't know it was THAT good!!! Thank you so much 💜
You are super welcome, Martha! And thank you for your nice comment :)
so i had a quinoa bowl with grilled chicken, some thinly sliced red onion, some sliced avocado and some honey sriracha sauce last week from a local deli and was immediately hooked. went out and bought myself some quinoa and i got the cheapest kind i could (think boil-in-a-bag) - just to experiment and not spend too much on my first attempt. today i packed a lunch w/ quinoa, steamed shrimp, cherry tomatoes.i seasoned the quinoa with garlic herb butter. it wasn't AS healthy as the fancy bowl i got from the restaurant (had a lot more salt), but it was 1000x more healthy than what i would have brought/bought otherwise. i'm a white rice addict and i really am enjoying this "replacement" for rice. i've had a sensitivity to gluten my whole life, so i try to steer clear from eating too much bread. just wanted to share that i'm a new quinoa convert and i learned a lot from your video! thank you!
My pleasure, Kelly. It is great to hear you found the video helpful!
This video is very helpful. You are using an electric stove and I have an electric stove so it's good to know how to properly set for cooking. Awesome video
Thank you very much Juanita for your nice comment.

Thank-you Evita, This was so helpful as I am new to Quinoa. Just made my first patch I bought but had never used.. A success with a salad. A new staple for me now! :)
That is so wonderful to hear :) Thank you for letting me know.
Thank you for the excellent explanation. Never thought about smoothies. Super idea
My pleasure and thank you for the feedback.
I enjoyed your video so much. Although I am using quinoa for few years now, have lots of recipes, it is so nice to hear, once again, why it is so good and healthy. Your soothing voice made it even more pleasant to listen! Thank you for the great video :)

Superb!
Lovely to hear :)
Salam to you Evita, I am reza, ... you deserve a big THANK YOU for the very informative and splendid video. The clarity of the presentation made so easy to follow and practise the suggestions. Although, in my country, Indonesia, rice is the staple food, just like in many Asian countries, recently I personally, have been consuming quinoa as part of my non-rice diet, Bob's Red Mill. And yes, you're so right, quinoa goes well with either, savoury, spicy, sweet or any well-combined flavour. Easy ... healthy ... versatile ... blessed ... Thank you again Evita / HealthTarian !
Hello Reza, it is a pleasure to receive your lovely comment and really great to hear you are enjoying the wonderful versatility of quinoa. Thank you so much for your great feedback! Wishing you many delicious meals :)

Really very nice video. It describes what are the nutrition of Quinoa, how to cook it and mainly different recipes for it. Many thanks for this Kind of making videos.... 😊😊
Thank you so much for your kind and valuable feedback. Much appreciated!
I have found that it is best ground into flour and added to pancake and waffle batter!! So good!! I also just add it to my granola with all the seeds, nuts and old fashion rolled oats, wheat germ and coconut! It's the only grain that is a complete protein!
Thank you for sharing your quinoa eating preferences, Patricia. With regard to the protein, please note that the idea of "complete" and "incomplete" proteins is a myth and has been greatly misguiding people in our society to seeing whole plant foods as inferior to animal foods. All whole plant foods contain complete proteins, and I educate about this fully in my Plant and Animal Protein Myths guide here: www.evolvingwellness.com/post/protein-myths-about-plant-and-animal-protein-sources
Very well presented. Very informative and I enjoyed watching your video. thank you.
You are most welcome, and thank you for your great feedback.
Thanks for your informative video. In the UK we can also buy Quinoa Puffs which I add to my homemade muesli. It is certainly a very versatile seed for us vegans.
My pleasure, Jo, and thanks for sharing your experience with quinoa.
Excellent presentation. Very informative.
Really good to get your feedback. Thank you.
Fantastic. Very informative. I've been using quinoa for some time now. This vid enforces my use of the food. Your presentation and ethos is very inspirational. Thank you Evita.

Been watching your videos, excellent presentation. Thanks
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!
Your great service making this video is greatly appreciated. I know what you have done is a great work. Blessings.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I really appreciate it :)
This was excellent info and well done! Thank you so much! I want to try quinoa but i only found the red quinoa. I will do the research to find out the difference. Thanks again!
+Carla Sings That is great to hear and I appreciate your feedback very much. When it comes to plants, there are usually several varieties of the same plant or food crop, and the same is the case for quinoa. Different varieties can be slightly different in color or size, and have slightly different, but overall the same nutritional properties. In the end with varieties of quinoa, or chia seeds, or similar foods, it comes down to a matter of personal preference or practicality (i.e. what can you get easier, which may be cheaper, etc.)

Thank you for this video. Found this very informative. Just discovered I'm a type 2 diabetic and I'm looking for ways to cut out starches and quinoa sounds like the perfect substitute.
You are very welcome, Tamika.
Hello there .. thanks for your video..it's very informative about the quinoa.. this is the first time I come to know about this heavenly blessed food on earth with tremondeous amount healthy nutrients ... I really , appreciate your explanation about this product ... I add this product in my daily life from now... thanks mam.. take care .. God bless you .. 🤗🤗☺😊👍💪
My pleasure Suresh, and thank you for your nice comment and feedback.
Thanks Madam... I belive , you love the organic foods.. if you know any such healthy food for muscle growing ... I am about to start bodybuidling...I love only organic food apart from other food .. the main part of your watching video is .. you explanation is so research and deep and moreover very clear understandable.. I appreciate you more and God bless you so much to you and near dears...
Thanks Suresh. For muscle building the most important thing is to eat enough food that is high in nutrients, not any one specific food. But I will caution you about following the trendy fitness muscle building advice, which neglects to consider how what you do today will impact your future health. High meat or animal product diets or supplements or protein powders are not the way to best health or fitness. To learn the most up-date science about nutrition that excels for athletes and body builders, look into this film, "The Game Changers" (gamechangersmovie.com/), as well as body builders like Robert Cheeke (robertcheeke.net/) and Patrick Baboumian (th-cam.com/video/6XmcyMxN8sI/w-d-xo.html)
@@Healthytarian - thanks mam.. you are so sweet ..you provided me very important links ..for developing the muscles .. and also the healthy diet.. I am using quinoa in my Every day life .. it keeps me very active and fit ... Thank you so much ... I love the way you explain the video with a very simple and lucid language ... mam I want to know foods that are organic rich in calcium apart from diary products ..pls .. Thanks once again ..I love you so much 😊😊😊😊🤗🤗😍
You are very welcome. With regards to food rich in calcium, in general, as long as you are eating a variety of foods daily, you don't ever have to worry about getting enough calcium without dairy. This means eating some fruits, some vegetables, including leafy greens and green vegetables, some grains, some beans, and some nuts or seeds daily. All of these foods have some calcium and together it all adds up. Plus, when we eat whole, plant foods mostly or fully in our diet, we don't have an acidic diet that requires more calcium, like diets rich in processed foods and animal foods. But if you want extra rich sources of calcium, look to foods like leafy greens, green vegetables, almonds, sesame seeds/tahini, figs, and most beans and lentils. See here for more info: www.pcrm.org/health/diets/vsk/vegetarian-starter-kit-calcium
Excellent speaker with detailed info; i was mostly curious about how to cook it 👍 as i wasn't familiar with this seed.
