    Where did you find the red quinoa? I’ve just started playing with quinoa and this looks good!

      @Ellen @ CheapCooking, I’m curious where to find it, too. I have Walmart, Dillon’s (a Kroger sibling), and a couple other places available. I do NOT have a Costco and I don’t have a Sam’s membership. Any ideas? And 4# for $10? Maybe I won’t be buying it afterall…

    I found Quinoa at Costco last week 4lb for $10. YIPEE never found it that cheap. I cooked 1/2 cup in 1 cup of Thai coconut ginger curry chicken stock (College Inn brand) and it was awesome. Had it last night for dinner with steamed asparagus and salmon portion. I ate half of what I cooked; added cucumber, black olives, Vidalia onion, celery, and 3 mini sweet bell peppers in orange. Beautiful enough that I posted the photo on FaceBook.

    The directions showed to rinse and soak in water for 30 minutes. I did that–no bitter taste either. Red still has the hull on it. Do you think it adds to the nutritional value?

    I haven’t found red quinoa in our area either, and the regular quinoa is $9+ for 1 lb. 10 oz.

    Our Big Lots has quinoa. Not sure of the price or if it’s red but it’s Bob’s Red Mill I think. If you have a Big Lots check there and see.
