Almost all the recipes I found were for \u201cpuffed\u201d quinoa. I had no idea what this was, but I wanted to see if I could make it so I could try some of these recipes.<\/p>\n<p>It was so easy! All you need is a hot skillet and rinsed quinoa. If you have to rinse your quinoa, you will want to make sure it is completely dried before attempting to pop it. The result is a crunchy, nutty grain very similar (though smaller) to the crunchies in the chocolate crunch candy bars.<\/p>\n<p>Use a pot at least 6 inches deep. Quinoa will \u201cpop\u201d like popcorn, and it&#8217;s easier to keep an eye on everything without a lid so if you have a pot deep enough to use without having to use a lid, go for it. The quinoa will not get much bigger than it already is.<\/p>\n<p>Turn the burner to medium high or a notch lower. Add some quinoa to the pot \u2013 maybe half a cup at a time to get you started. It will burn easily so you need to pop just enough to be able to pop everything before the already popped stuff burns.<\/p>\n<p>Once the quinoa is in the pot, listen for it to begin popping. Keep it moving so it won&#8217;t burn so quickly. Once the popping sound slows down, remove the quinoa from the pot to another bowl. Once cooled, use it as you wish!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } \/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/ <\/p>\n<p>I was searching recipes for quinoa peanut butter balls recently.
