    If this has been done already – my apologies.

    Quinoa is one of my favourite grains, for both nutritional qualities and taste, and texture. My usual technique is to cook the grains in beef or chicken stock, using a considerable variety of savoury seasonings. The cooked quinoa dehydrates quickly, and most importantly, comes back to life in the field in next to no time.

    Recently I had the notion of cooking quinoa in fruit juice, to get a sweeter, more breakfasty sort of meal, and I have to say, it worked like a charm. The reconstituted quinoa is completely infused with the fruit juice flavour, and it makes a really nice, easy to prepare hot meal in the morning.

    That sounds like a nice option, I must try it. I have a friend that does the same thing with couscous, she uses True Lemon for flavoring and it's a wonderful zingy flavor in the morning, she also adds walnuts and craisins.

    Pretty much any breakfast rice or couscous dish can be made with quinoa! So you do have lots of options……

    Strange. I was just having a dream about this last night. I can always tell when I need to end my winter hibernation season… when I start dreaming about backpacking food.

    I cook the quinoa, then dehydrate it. That gives me a bagful of little brown nuggets that are simple to rehydrate (hot or cold). Sometimes I eat them straight.

    The fruit-flavored quinoa works good, even for throwing into a regular hot stew with vegetables.

    Now this sounds delightfully wonderful. I cook most of my own food then dehydrate. I must try this!

    Mmmmm, my yoga friend served this to me the other day with cashews, golden raisins and a touch of soy milk. It was mind altering!

    I too, like to cook and dehydrate the quinoa. I also like to use quinoa flakes which are practically instant. You can also dehydrate it after cooking in almond milk and that is a wonderful way to have it. I love mine with blueberries and hazelnuts.
