Quinoa Porridge

Note

Low/Moderate Salicylates, Low Amines, Low Glutamates

Rinse the quinoa well, otherwise the porridge will have bitter taste.

Variations: replacing the milk with cream makes this breakfast a bit more decadent (and not for everyday), but definitely delicious.

Use Red or Golden delicious apples for a moderate salicylate version, and cinnamon if a small amount of salicylates can be tolerated.
