Cooking Instructions:

In a stainless steel pot pour olive oil and turn hit on. Slowly add white and red quinoa, cold water, and sea salt. When the water starts boiling, lower the flame and cook for 20 minutes. Do not stir the pot.

When it is ready, water should be completely absorbed by the quinoa.

½ cup of organic black soy beans
