>>An interesting hybrid was developed on quinoa farms in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Happenstance used a quinoa seed to cross with wild spinach and called it ash. The result surprised the quinoa industry. Not only were the seed stalks 60.96 cm taller than those of other varieties, the seed hulls were dark purple, hearty and crunchy, with a unique earthy flavor. Although the ink-black quinoa changes one color when cooked, it retains its characteristic grain snap and flavor in every bite.<<

HOW TO USE
To cook quinoa use three parts water or broth to one part grain. Have it on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the grain becomes transparent. Try to make sure it is al dente, in the same way as with pasta.
It's best that as you taste it, cook it until you find it to your liking. The perfect cooking time is reached when each grain of quinoa has doubled in volume and released its white germ.
Serve immediately
Serve immediately freshly cooked to maintain its flavour and nutritional value.
If you prefer, you can toast the grains in a pan before cooking to give them a nutty flavour.
The quinoa should be washed before cooking to remove the saponin it contains, so it is rinsed for a few seconds under cold running water, we will see that foams by that saponin. It should not be left to soak for more than a few minutes because that saponin would be deposited on its surface and we would not be able to remove it
