Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I bought my first box of Quinoa YEARS ago, and it says that right on the box. It's a natural insecticide or something like that and the instructions say to RINSE THOROUGHLY. But in my case, since I didn't like the smell, it was a one time use. I am however going to look into the red variety. But...they are quite high in calories, no??

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The newer quinoa on the market is pre rinsed-you can just sprout it, soak, cook, or like me-grind it into flour. No, quinoa is not high in calories, but it is a complete protein in its own right-I add it to smoothies and baked goods. =========================================== Howdy!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 How do I get away with using Panko? Because Melody watches 95% of what she puts in her body and the other 5% is Panko or some other little nonsense. I enjoy Panko coating on my chicken or fish but I do this sparingly. So when I do use it, I enjoy it. It's a treat. And so far my blood sugar is cooperating. The Fenugreek tea is a godsend. The other morning I got up my sugar was 72. I have NEVER hit that number in my life. I range between an 80 and a 98. That's great for me at my age. So Panko once in a while is okay. But if I can grind the Quinoa and make Panko out of that, well I'll do that. I have no idea what a grain flaker is. But if I can grind up the Quinoa in my coffee grinder, would that work? And then I could bread my fish or chicken. Holy cow, I could really do that. Tell me if that would work.

From: Melody Subject: Re: quinoa taste To: sproutpeople Date: Sunday, April 17, 2011, 2:54 PM  Okay, Melody has been reading all the posts about quinoa and quinoa flour and I just went online to see if I could use quinoa in place of, let's say, I want to bread some chicken or some fish. I don't do that because I don't do white flour. But if I COULD do white flour, I'd dredge the fish or chicken in white flour, dip in egg, dip in Panko crumbs, and either bake it or fry it. But I do this recipe and just leave out the flour part. So can I do the following: Buy a box of ready to use quinoa (no rinsing required). Can I then put the quinoa in my food processor (or coffee grinder) and grind it to flour. Then can I use this ANY TIME I NEED TO USE FLOUR?? Thanks much. > > > > > > Melody, this puzzles me.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 You can make beautiful flour with a coffee grinder (I do recommend having one dedicated to just that purpose though, so it doesn't pick up flavors) When I was first diagnosed with celiac, I experimented with different grains before I invested in a grinder, and the coffee grinder actually worked better than MOST of the various grinders I have owned over the years (except for my Vitamix, which is AMAZING) I did all sorts of grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and rice in the coffee grinder. I would do several batches at a time and store it in the freezer. Worked a charm!  It's great that you can " treat " yourself to your 5 percent " not so good stuff " . Being allergic, I can't!. A grain flaker/roller rolls hard grains into flakes, such as rolled oats. It is an attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I don't have any gluten problems, and from reading your post, I gather I'm not making any flour out of my oats either!!!!! Thanks much But...if I ever get any oat groats (I have absolutely no idea what this is), but you know I'll make a video if I ever get these things. lol Melody http://www.youtube.com/user/eliz7212?feature=mhum Apr 17, 2011 04:45:28 PM, sproutpeople wrote: =========================================== You won't get decent flour from rolled or quick cook oats. To make good oat flour,, you need to make it from whole oat groats. Many celiacs can't eat oats because they are often cross contaminated with wheat, since growing oats is usually switched out year to year with a wheat crop to enrich the soil. I use certified gluten free oats, which come from a facility that does JUST oats-even their combine equipment has never touched wheat. Again, such precautions are mainly for people with a high wheat allergy, sensitivity, or celiac.  You should be able to get whole oat groats at any whole foods store. If you need certified gluten free oats, you need to order them online-wickedly expensive, but worth every cent! I slow cook the groats overnight in my slow cooker for a lovely hot breakfast, ready and waiting. I also grind the oats into flour, and flake or roll them with my flaker attachment. From: Melody Subject: Re: quinoa taste To: sproutpeople Date: Sunday, April 17, 2011, 3:23 PM  Hi.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hi Lorri. I might do an experiment. Making my oats into Flour. Not today. Today I made about 30 meatballs, and a WHOLE POT LOAD OF HOME MADE ITALIAN SAUCE. I then put individual meals (spaghetti and meatballs) into the little OSO fresh containers. And they are in all my freezer. So whenever Alan wants spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, I pop one out. Or if I just wnat a few meatballs, I pop one of those containers out. I'm extremely organized as I get into my old age. lol Melody http://www.youtube.com/user/eliz7212?feature=mhum Apr 17, 2011 05:51:34 PM, sproutpeople wrote: =========================================== > > I don't have any gluten problems, and from reading your post, I gather > I'm not making any flour out of my oats either!!!!! > > Thanks much > > But...if I ever get any oat groats (I have absolutely no idea what > this is), but you know I'll make a video if I ever get these things. > > lol > > Melody > http://www.youtube.com/user/eliz7212?feature=mhum > Melody, If you give your rolled oats or even quick oats a whir in a food processor you will have oat flour. I do it all the time. Oat flour is one of my favorites for the rare times I bake anymore. Oat groats are optimal but not required.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Looking forward to it. I love when others make videos. I feel so alone on youtube. No one but me makes videos. ROFL. lol Melody http://www.youtube.com/user/eliz7212?feature=mhum Apr 17, 2011 04:51:20 PM, sproutpeople wrote: =========================================== I will go make a video JUST for you Melody, showing oat groats and grinding them into flour. After all, you make so many wonderful videos for us, it's the least I can do! From: Melody Subject: Re: quinoa taste To: sproutpeople Date: Sunday, April 17, 2011, 3:23 PM  Hi. Got some more flour questions. One would think I would know this but my mama never taught me any of this so I would do what all ladies used to do, go to the store and buy white flour. UNTIL I GOT DIABETES. Then that went out the window. I was just on the internet reading about this kind of flour and that kind of flour and I happened upon Oat flour. I said " what the heck is oat flour? " and the description was " take one and one half cup of oats, and grind and that will make one cup of oat flour " I have LOTS of oats in my house. I have made oatmeal cookies, made Alan oatmeal (which he no longer eats because he likes other things). But I have a big back of oats in my house. It says " Quick cooked Oats " and on the side it indicates " one half cup has 24 grams of carbs " I don't buy white flour, but I am going to go online and do some digging. Do you think if I pulverize these oats, I can use this as flour. Is this high glycemic or not? thanks much Gosh, the stuff I'm learning is mind boggling. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Melody, this puzzles me. Quiona smells and tastes great. Here is a hint.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Melody, my dear lady, I have been posting videos for ages on youtube!  I have posted them here several times, but I think yours are less boring than mine, lol. Don't feel like the lone ranger!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I didn't mean CANNED, I meant FRESH. You've never seen " HOARDERS " These people save cupcakes and other stuff that should have died 5 years ago. I know canned food stays. But who on earth keeps FRESH food, still in packages (Not fresh, but packaged) you know what I mean.

I have an acquaintance who went to a meeting in Australia (where she's from and where he husband had been big in the agri industry) where they served 14 year old canned asparagus and no one could tell the difference! That said, I'm still sprouting, LOL. Pam > Hi. > > I think I have EW to thank for this. I picked his brain about how to store my sprouting seeds and I made videos, and he looked at what I did, then I went one step further and changed a whole spare room into a storage room with shelving and put all my stuff in my LockNLock containers, and my Oso Fresh Containers. For example, any pasta I had, well I took them all out of what they were in and put them in LockNLock's and labeled everything. And I have one complete shelf dedicated to my seeds. All sealed nice and tight. Then I have another shelf just for my vitamins. > > Extremely easy to reach and to see where everything is. It's way better than keeping stuff in kitchen cabinets.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks EW. I don't live anywhere near a Whole foods. But I'm still learning. I will grow this item some day.
