I was fascinated and sort of amazed to read that in South America the quinoa saponins are used to make soap and detergent!! Any wonder it is a bit harsh on tummies. Once in a while this is a delicious breakfast and yes agree totally that it is up to all of us to shop with awareness about where our food is coming from and who is benefiting (or missing out) from its sale. xxNikki Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061038678819861999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627109429370960702.post-6834020834440121432013-05-21T22:46:36.619+10:002013-05-21T22:46:36.619+10:00Good to know I'm not alone Michelle in the sle...Good to know I'm not alone Michelle in the sleepy stakes, My boys aren't quinoa fans either,,,unless I use the flakes in a chocolate cake!Nikki Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061038678819861999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627109429370960702.post-64091679655684883152013-05-21T19:29:03.816+10:002013-05-21T19:29:03.816+10:00That sounds seriously delicious.

I may try boiling it, as you suggest, as I will be feeding it to Oscar and Nora as well. The last thing I want to do is upset their little digestive systems. xImogen Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605470254483772581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627109429370960702.post-66226030043229166132013-05-21T18:24:49.740+10:002013-05-21T18:24:49.740+10:00yum that does look amazing.

I was on a quinoa porridge kick a year or so ago and then all of a sudden after a week or so, i just couldn't stomach it anymore, and i think this post explains why that happened, thank you. I don't however react the same way when I cook savoury quinoa, hmm, the process is a little different though, maybe that's it. <br />I recently read an article about how Bolivians are now unable to afford quinoa (quinoa predominately comes from Bolivia) because of the increased demand and exportation to the west. We buy Tasmanian quinoa but this Bolivian situation is a complex scenario as the increased demand of quinoa has led to a lot more money coming into Bolivia and to Bolivian farmers, but I guess, like all products we should hopefully making sure that it is fair trade, with the money going to the right places. Just thought you might be interested. xxxjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676407573579992272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627109429370960702.post-13807081812039880392013-05-20T18:55:53.875+10:002013-05-20T18:55:53.875+10:00This sounds delicious.

I rather like quinoa, but my kids aren't too fussed...but they'll eat it in a slice I make (using quinoa flakes).

I tend to err on the side of caution and cook any Quinoa I eat.<br /><br />I hope your boys feel better soon! Cheers, Luna. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
