Does anyone actually:
1) rinse and drain quinoa thoroughly in cold water before cooking?
2) determine doneness by the visible germ ring on the outside edge of the grain?
because these are the specific instructions on the back of TRADER JOE'S Organic Tricolor Quinoa, and while I like to follow food hygiene instructions and recommendations--
1) quinoa grains are much too tiny to rinse in a colander-- they would go through the holes!
2) quinoa grains are way too small to examine in such a precise manner;
so WTF?
does it specifically call for rinsing them in a colander? 'cause a strainer works just fine when i rinse my quinoa.
