The texture of it was like sand after 1 minute the first time and after 2 minutes the second time. So now I will try 6 minutes next time, as you mentioned in your article. I wish the package would note the difference in cooking time!

This texture makes red quinoa a great cold salad ingredient! It also maintains its red colour after cooking, so if you are looking to add some colour to a dish, red quinoa can be a great addition.
