The good news is that quinoa typically is organic. Most of the quinoa that you'll find in stores is grown wild without any types of pesticides or fertilizers. This is because the majority of quinoa comes from regions of South America where pesticides are not used.
Quinoa can be used as an alternative to rice or couscous. To cook: Bring 1/2 cup of quinoa to a boil with 1 cup of water/stock. Cover and simmer for 14-18 minutes.
