How to Freeze Quinoa

Step 1

Rinse quinoa and cook as directed on package. Typically a 1:3 ratio of uncooked quinoa to water is required.

Step 2

If there are no package directions, combine quinoa, water, and salt in a very large pot with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium low. Keep covered and simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Step 3

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely.

Step 4

Using a measuring cup, scoop 1 or 2 cup portions into freezer bags and label with measurement. Flatten and freeze for up to 10 months.
