Hi guys,

I saw somewhere in the posts Jordan mentioned that Marketplace sells Quinoa. I went to Tanglin Mall Marketplace and can't find. I can only find quinoa flour.

Anywhere else I can find quinoa? Many thanks!

IF im not wrong you can buy at Vivo's marketplace, that organic place. I'll help you check if i'm going later today. But the price of things there aren't really worth it.

Thanks, will go check it out next week. Any luck at Vivo Marketplace?

Fairprice Finest also has Quinoa, but only two locations though

what's so great about quinoa?

Ehh shit sorry ah shion1 i havent had the time to go to vivo and check for you..

Finally got my Quinoa from Paragon Marketplace!

A-tas shopping center.
NTUC finest not as A-tas?

Just happened to be there. Dunno leh, never been to NTUC Finest wor.

How is it taste-wise? How u prepare it? Just boil in water?

Tastes plain but yet with a bit of fragrance (dunno how to describe). Kinda fluffy but yet nice to chew, doesn't feel like rice though. Very nice when mixed together with tuna or sardine and mashed up hard boiled eggs!

shion, where did you get yours?

is this better than oats?

For oats, I just add water, then microwave for 2 mins.. add a tblspn of raisins, add 160g of cooked lean beef and 2 pan-fried eggs... and that is a fabulous meal by itself. Hearty breakfast.

I would say it's better than oats. It's not a grain mah.

Look up

Vivic: Paragon Marketplace. But I think other Marketplace also have. Go to Organics section.

Forgot to add, yah I boil with water, until water dried up and the quinoa puffed up. Takes about 15 to 20 mins depending on amount you cooking. Actually you can cook a bit more and fridge it.

Alternative recipe, add the cooked quinoa and choice of veg or minced meat or tuna/sardine and put into beaten egg. Bake for 8-10 mins... (1-2 eggs portion) Yum! There you got yr protein and carbs liao!

when i read.. i get confused.. is this protein or carb?

carbs, but it's quite high in protein as well.

mainly carb, but lots of micronutrients. Check out the nutritional content.

I saw it in Paragon Marketplace as well.

I think i saw at some common ntucfairprice too.

Bought it.. Boiled in water.. And tried to eat.. Looks weird.. Taste weird, has a flowery taste imo. Hard to finish the thing.. Something is wrong.. I usually has a strong taste bud..

When you can chug bulk bcaa/cee and mercola greens then you maybe say you have strong taste bud

Nono.. No thanks. Sounds bad.

Just tried to eat again.. This time scrambled with 4 eggs.. A bit better than eating on its own..
