In practice
Quinoa is a seed cooked like a grain, and a cup of uncooked quinoa weighs about 170 g on this page; it roughly triples when cooked. Rinse it before cooking to remove saponins, a natural coating that tastes bitter and soapy. The usual ratio is 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water, simmered about 15 minutes until the white spiral germ appears. Red and black varieties hold their shape better, so they are good in salads.
