[pct-l] Quinoa?

[Terry]

Hi Jake 
Try soaking it for an hour or so prior to 'cooking'  in half of the water needed, to start the hydration process.  You also save a bit of fuel cooking on the trail this way too.

My system is to bring a cup of it to boil (with dehydrated veggies/spices), boil for about a minute then put my pot in cozy for about 10-15 mins.  Two questions;  Any better system anyone else has discovered?  And, is it ok to eat under done quinoa?
