I definitely have eatten quinoa on it's own without any problems....it's something we have a few times per week at our house.
It has a different nutty flavor to it, but I add a little soy sauce to it (not much!) and love it. My husband and I actually make breakfasts out of it as well.
Take cooked quinoa with a little soy milk, add some honey and finely chopped raisins and a little brown sugar.
Quinoa is very good for you and filling, as it also has a high protein content, which is very rare for a grain.

Yes, all I can tell you is that she was able to eat it even in the worst of times. I hadn't read up on the SF/IF ratio before I tried it out on her - maybe I, too, might have hesitated! I just decided to try it because it is so much like rice to me - always felt easy to digest and a sort of 'comfort food,' plus I was looking for easily digested protein. For a while there she was eating it a lot.
good luck w/it,

Awh sorry to hear raisins don't work for you! They are on the 'yellow' column so for me, as long as I cut them up and have them with the quinoa I'm fine.
Always depends on the person I guess!
Enjoy your day!

thanks, maybe you eat small amounts?
I steer clear of dried fruit in general, on account of the fructose but they are even higher in IF than normal fruits.
I really do hope quinoa works for me too, I love it and it's so healthy! thanks again for your reply.
