Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 From what I've read, it's always a good idea to rinse quinoa before use to remove any pesticides, etc. But I forgot when making this and it was fine. :-) Cindi --- On Sun, 4/27/08, stephanielow <stephanielow wrote: stephanielow <stephanielow Re: Recipe: Three Grain Pilaf Sunday, April 27, 2008, 9:54 AM Hi, Should the quinoa be rinsed before making this?
