What the fuck is quinoa?

>>9400038
It's tasty as fuck is what it is. Overpriced in my area, though.

>>9400038
Fucking non-peruvians cooking quinoa like shit. For Pachamama's sake, I saw my non-peruvian friend just pooring raw quinoa in his cereal, what the fuck man.

>>9400584
We just cook it like rice the, adding a little garlic to it

In Peru there are many ways to cook it, allow me to enlighten you:

>wash the quinoa extremely well, like 4 times otherwise it will taste like shit because it has a weird thin film of some shit substance
>semi-fry (is there a word for this?) garlic, onions, pepper
>pour equal ammounts (sometimes it changes) of water and quinoa into pot
>when done add salt

You can add cheese or tomato if you want, pretty good. The cheese should be fresh cheese, the white one.

>sweet quinoa
>boil quinoa with sugar, cinnamon and clover
>add milk or water if you are poor like most peruvians

It's pretty good. If you are usng black quinoa then you should boil it for much longer.

>>9400954
kek

fuck quinoa

>>9401001
Yeah, I think it tastes like cardboard and has the consistency of little eyeballs. Gross stuff.

>>9400038
I would say yes. I finally got to try some at a Costco samples thing a couple of months ago. It's basically rice in a different shape.

>>9400615
In Peru everybody goes to the internet cafe queueing on US servers in Dota 2 and ruining my game for an hour. Fuck you.
I'll have to try sweet quinoa, reminded me of this Mexican beverage with milk, caramel, and cinnamon.

>>9400615

>>9400060
Buy it from Amazon. I scored a two pound bag for $7.

>>9400038
i cook with it because i like the taste of it.

I dont buy/eat it simply because of the "memes" behind it though.

>>9400038
Put some marmite in chicken stock and that shit comes out amazing.

>>9400038
>Depriving countries of their staple food because magazines say they're health boosts
Truly, this is a pure evil.

>>9402511
>"oh, no! evil us!"
Pfff. They can buy other food from the piles money they earn from our dumb hipsters, and actually come out much better. A bit of variation is good for everyone.

>>9400038
No, it's food.

You can't eat memes.

>>9402550

except the farmers dont make any fucking money off of "hipsters", the corporations do. meanwhile the price of quinoa is higher than the price of fucking chicken meat and poor beaners in bumfuck nowhere peru can't eat their favorite grain anymore

imagine chinks not being able to buy rice, it's fucking absurd

>>9402624
capitalism, not even once

>>9400060
Grow it yourself, it is super easy to grow.

>>9400038
Yes, but it is tasty. I prefer mixing it with rice.

>>9402624
>except the farmers dont make any fucking money off of "hipsters"
Unless they're forced to sell at gunpoint they wouldn't sell it to the big evil corporations if they weren't paying more than the locals.

>>9402674
What non-capitalist country do you live?

Is there one that works?

>>9402511
Why can't I be healthy too?

>>9402674
>Believing that the farmers are too dumb to understand supply and demand and not making money off of it.

>>9400038
No, it's a food. Next question.

>>9403971
I'll have 3.5 foods thanks.

>>9400038
yes it's a meme and it's also really really good for you.
