What is it?
Known as the “mother grain” of the Incan empire, quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”), is a small, flat seed. It’s a staple for millions in South America and is available in a gorgeous array of colors, from golden-tan to brick-red. In Bolivia, Ecuador, and Chile, where the plant grows abundantly, it has been eaten continuously for 5,000 years. (In the Incan language, the word quinua means “mother grain.”)
无麸质的藜麦是营养的动力。它被称为“超级食品”,因为它是一个完整的蛋白质,其中包含所有必需氨基酸。它也是矿物质和纤维的良好来源,以及铁,锌,钾,钙和维生素E。
但是味道如何?这是一种温和的,有点甜的谷物,带有玉米,坚果和草的味道。但是,使藜麦真正有趣的是它柔软但巧妙的质地。煮熟后,细菌掉下来,保留了一片鲜艳的脆脆,而种子本身变得柔软而轻。
近年来,藜麦也已成为许多观察犹太人的逾越节。由于它不是真正的谷物,所以通常被认为是逾越节的犹太,只要它是在不处理其他禁止谷物的设施中处理的。
尽管有绰号,但藜麦实际上并不是谷物。与构成种子和水果的小麦,大麦,玉米和黑麦不同,藜麦仅是种子。它也不是草系的成员,从中收获了大多数谷物。它与甜菜,菠菜甚至滚筒式草皮密切相关。然而,藜麦被认为是烹饪界的谷物,因为它像谷物一样煮熟和食用,并且具有类似的营养曲目。一旦煮熟,藜麦就会变得半透明,白色的胚芽部分脱离,看起来像白色刺耳的尾巴。
Don’t have it?
替换bulgur小麦或蒸粗麦粉,尽管它们没有相同的质地。
如何选择:
Look for quinoa in natural-foods stores or well-stocked supermarkets. It’s a staple at stores with bulk bins.
如何准备:
First,rinse it well。这是消除藜麦涂层的重要步骤,玉米蛋白是一种苦味,肥皂味的天然物质,可保护植物免受昆虫的侵害。大多数藜麦都经过处理以去除大部分皂苷,因此完成了一碗凉水和一碗良好的味道才能完成这一过程。如果水显得多云,请继续用淡水冲洗,直到云彩几乎消失。
库克奎奴亚藜像赖斯:使用2:1液体-grain ratio. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed. Quinoa cooks in about 10 to 15 minutes, making it the fastest cooking grain out there. Fluff the quinoa well with a fork before serving.
如何存储:
Store quinoa in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
