- Rinse quinoa well. Three or four washes should do the trick to get rid of the bitter saponins.
- Bring quinoa and water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

What bitter parts are you getting rid of? When I made quinoa I didn't find anything about this step in my recipe... but we didn't love the result. Maybe this is why? Thanks :)
Deanna,
Prepared quinoa (out of a box) is already washed, and doesn't require you to wash it before cooking. When I was googling how to prepare quinoa, several sources stated that bulk quinoa is coated in a bitter substance that should be washed off before cooking.
I haven't tried it without the wash step, but it's similar in flavour and texture to an al dente couscous.
I finally tried it again, this time WITH the wash step. Much better!! Thanks :)
