About Quinoa (Dry)
Measure the dry grains before rinsing: retained water changes their weight. Then rinse or otherwise prepare them according to the package and recipe; weighing is not a substitute for that preparation.
If a baking recipe calls for cooked quinoa, cook it first and measure the cooked quantity separately. The amount of water absorbed and left after draining prevents a single dry-to-cooked cup ratio from fitting every batch.
Tips for measuring Quinoa (Dry)
- Weigh before rinsing.
- Use the cooked amount only when the recipe specifies cooked quinoa.
Common mistakes
- Applying the dry-grain reference to rinsed or cooked quinoa.
