Question about soaking Quinoa

[Guest guest]

In NT, Sally mentions soaking grains with apple cider vinegar if you

have problems with whey but I don't recall her mentioning ACV as a

soaking option with Quinoa. Is ACV an acceptable soaking companion

with quinoa? Does anyone know?

[Guest guest]

The oils on quinoa contain bitter saponins; I don't recall that the seed

contains lots of phytates. I usually do a warm water soak to loosen the

oils from the surface of the seed, and then I drizzle warm water in from

the faucet to gently rinse the oils off the top of the soak water and

over the side of the bowl. I do this a few times throughout the day.

Because vinegar cuts fatty acids, I'm sure that ACV will work better than

whey in the regard of soaking off the quinoa oils- I just don't do it

because I don't always want that acv taste, and have time for the other.

Quinoa pilaf rules!
