HOW TO COOK
Brown Rice 2-cups water to 1-cup rice bring to a boil uncovered, then reduce heat to low & cook for 40-45 minutes with the lid on. Barley 5-cups water to 1-cup barley cook for 1 hour & 15 minutes on low, and drain excess water if necessary. 1 cup of dry barley equals 3.75 cups cooked. Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) 2 cups water to 1 cup quinoa must rinse well for several minutes before cooking or it will be bitter. In a medium sized pot, put quinoa and cold water and bring to a boil with the lid on. Once boiling, turn down to minimum and cook for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, turn off the element, but leave the pot on the stove and let rest for another 5 minutes with the lid on. Cook like rice but only for about 15-20 minutes, until fluffy. Keeps in the fridge for use in hot and cold dishes for 3-5 days.
