Ok....another question. What does it taste like. For some reason it scares me. :o

It does have a slightly earthy taste. I like to make mine with chicken broth rather than water. Or I make taboule with it. In other words, add some spices and flavorings to it. It passed my family test for good taste. So no need to fear. :)

Rinse it well before cooking or it may have a bit of a bitter or soapy taste to it. I watched a travel show where they showed a woman in a country where quinoa is a staple and she put it in a piece of cheese cloth and was rinsing and scrubbing under the water.

Ah yes...it has a saponin coating which is a natural soapy substance that keeps the bugs off of it naturally. I just run under water in a strainer for a few minutes.

Thanks guys for the question and the info. I just bought a box of flakes 3 days ago and haven't had time to use it yet. Any good recipes for the flakes??? I love to bake :)

You dont have to rinse the flakes. I tried the banana muffin recipe on the box of flakes and they were gross.

I like the flakes for breakfast sometimes. I mix almond butter and stevia in it. Tasty.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
